The Book

It was pretty good, but worth a second listen. Haven't been in the mindset of philosophy in a while, so it was a nice change of pace.
I am a little disappointed with the content of the book with which I'm familiar from his other works, including mainly his talks.
I can imagine a reader who is not familiar with Alan's philosophy in whole not to be able to understand it by just reading this book.
That said, I enjoyed reading this book which gave me a little more deeper look at some of his concepts.
Super awesome. For years I've been meditating and blindly following the instruction that there is ‘no self' with ABSOLUTELY no idea what that all meant.
This was a brilliant little intro into the idea of ‘non-duality' and of some pretty quirky and wonderful eastern thought.
Watts is so cheeky. So many brilliant metaphors.
Will hang on to this one and refer back when I need a quick refresh of why we are all one and the same.
