CLEAR ALL
Jim Carrey, Alan Watts explores the profound mystery of creating who we are and our relative perceptions of our identities.
Alan Watts’s The Spirit of Zen was one of the first books to introduce the basic foundation of Zen Buddhism to English-speaking audiences.
Six revolutionary essays from "the perfect guide for a course correction in life, away from materialism and its empty promise" (Deepak Chopra), exploring the relationship between spiritual experience and ordinary life—and the need for them to coexist within each of us.
With a rare combination of freshness and lucidity, Alan Watts delves into the origins and history of Zen to explain what it means for the world today. Watts saw Zen as “one of the most precious gifts of Asia to the world,” and in The Way of Zen he gives this gift to readers everywhere.
At the root of human conflict is our fundamental misunderstanding of who we are.
