Description

A giftable collection of inspiring, uplifting, and enlightening words of wisdom from one of the most important voices in spirituality and self-help. The perfect guide for a course correction in life. For decades, people have turned to the words of Alan Watts for guidance, support, and spiritual sustenance. In his classic works of philosophy, which helped to interpret and promote Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism to Western readers, Watts tapped into ancient ideas but presented them in ways that spoke to everyone. Possessed of "the rare gift of 'writing beautifully the unwritable'" (Los Angeles Times), Watts was a master of the pithy turn of phrase, and his writing is marked by an uncanny ability to make complicated ideas and advice accessible: "Problems that remain persistently insoluble should always be suspected as questions asked in the wrong way ... Unless one is able to live fully in the present, the future is a hoax ... Faith is not clinging but letting go." This collection brings together the best of Watts's timeless words of wisdom to reflect upon, to live by, and to read for inspiration, knowledge, and growth.
