Story4.5 out of 5 stars 9
Alan W. Watts' "message for an age of anxiety" is as powerful today as it was when this modern classic was first published. We spend too much time trying to anticipate and plan for the future, too much time lamenting the past. We often miss the pleasures of the moment in our anxious efforts to ensure the next moment is as enjoyable. Drawing from Eastern philosophy and religion, Watts argues that it is only by acknowledging what we do not and cannot know that we can find something truly worth knowing.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3
Alan Watts discusses the word tathata, which is translated from the Sanskrit as "suchness" or "thusness." The term is used in Mahayana Buddhism to suggest how things look to a Buddha, to one who has experienced enlightenment or liberation and is, therefore, called a Tathagata - one who comes (and goes) thus. Watts shares the sense of this nonsense in Buddhist philosophy, and its practical demonstration in Zen.

Precise and lively exposition of reality
A compact and fluent talk by one of the world’s greatest spiritual teachers. Mr Alan Watts strips spirituality of dull seriousness and embellishes it with his characteristic humour and deep knowledge.

Eastern thought with a Western accent.
Alan Watts is a spiritual entertainer. If you are not enlightened and entertained by this audio book, I'm sure Audible can refund your misery.

A wonderful book
A fantastic book that I found to be developmental and maturative for a young man coming of age such as myself. I found this book to be relatable and generally worthwhile to get through and I further highly recommend this book.
