Product Details
Paperback: 140 pages
Publisher: New World Library; 2nd edition (October 28, 2007)
Fun to read from a historical point of view with those wonderful turns of phrase, simplification of complex ideas, and terrific insight that Alan Watts always brought to his work.
The essay on psychedelic drugs is one of the best bits of insight on the subject I've ever seen.
He was probably one of the major influences in the awakening of the western world to what was happening in eastern spirituality...which he liked to point out was actually happening to the west of us here in the USA.
I'm particularly fond of the analogies he comes up with to instantly simplify a complex concept.
