The Book on the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are

Mind-opening exploration of our true identity.

For those searching for a deeper understanding of self and the universe, "The Book" by Alan Watts may be your next step on that journey. It's more than a set of ideas; it's a transformative experience, inviting you to question and dissolve the illusions of separation. Watts's wisdom is a balm for the modern soul, blending philosophy and spirituality in a way that could change how you perceive your place in the cosmos.

Description

At the root of human conflict is our fundamental misunderstanding of who we are. The illusion that we are isolated beings, unconnected to the rest of the universe, has led us to view the “outside” world with hostility, and has fueled our misuse of technology and our violent and hostile subjugation of the natural world. To help us understand that the self is in fact the root and ground of the universe, Watts has crafted a revelatory primer on what it means to be human—and a mind-opening manual of initiation into the central mystery of existence. In The Book, Alan Watts provides us with a much-needed answer to the problem of personal identity, distilling and adapting the Hindu philosophy of Vedanta. A revelatory primer on what it means to be human, from "the perfect guide for a course correction in life" (Deepak Chopra)—and a mind-opening manual of initiation into the central mystery of existence.
