Summary:
"Here is an indispensable treasury of uplifting and enlightening quotations for guidance, support, and spiritual sustenance. In his classic works of philosophy, Alan Watts shared timeless wisdom with readers worldwide. In this book are some of his most thought-provoking words to live by, to reflect upon, and to read for inspiration, knowledge, and growth." -- Back cover.
"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" (Deepak Chopra). 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"; "belief clings, but faith lets go." This collection brings together some of his most timeless words of wisdom to reflect upon and to live by, and to read for inspiration, for knowledge, and for growth"--
