Description
This new edition of Alan Watts' autobiography offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a philosophical renegade. From his childhood in rural England to his emergence as a spiritual teacher, Watts recounts his spiritual and philosophical evolution in a non-linear style that wonderfully combines his unconventional philosophy with humorous anecdotes and wry observations.
Watts' journey is marked by his coming to Buddhism through the teachings of Christmas Humphreys and D. T. Suzuki, and his experiences with gurus, celebrities, and psychedelic drugs. His remarkable account of his life is a charming and humorous exploration of a compelling figure who encouraged readers to "follow your own weird".
With a foreword by Watts' father, this autobiography is a warm and engaging story that showcases Watts' unique brand of philosophy and his ability to think for himself. a worthwhile read for anyone interested in philosophy, spirituality, and the counterculture movement of the 20th century.
