Renowned lecturer and author Alan Watts presents his meditations on the dilemma of seeking your true self. In doing so, becoming what you are--at once an impossible directive and an unavoidable fact.

Renowned lecturer and author Alan Watts presents his meditations on the dilemma of seeking your true self.

In this collection of writings, Alan Watts displays the intelligence, playfulness of thought, and simplicity of language that has made him so perennially popular as an interpreter of Eastern thought for Westerners. Drawing on a variety of religious traditions, he presents the dilemma of seeking your true self-to ""become what you are."" Once called ""the godfather of Zen in America,"" Watts also covers topics such as the challenge of seeing one's life ""just as it is,"" the Taoist approach to harmonious living, the limits of language in the face of ineffable spiritual truth, and psychological symbolism in Christian thought.
