  Simultaneously dense and ethereal, this book is a challenging read, but well worth the effort. I can only imagine how difficult it was for Watts to write. But what an achievement! I won’t say I was captivated throughout. The section on the historical foundations of Zen, albeit necessary to give context to the evolution of ideas which gave rise to Zen, can become tedious. Yet there are so many places where I would read something and just be awestruck at some radically new perspective on life. It’s a bit like panning for gold. A few good nuggets will make light of the work. Pace yourself on this one to make sure you don’t miss any of those nuggets.
