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 ... Faith is not clinging but letting go."

This collection brings together the best of Watts's timeless words of wisdom--to reflect upon, to live by, and to read for inspiration, knowledge, and growth.
