BOOK ON THE TABOO AGAINST KNOWING WHO YOU ARE (PB)

This book explores an unrecognised but mighty taboo our tacit conspiracy to ignore who, or what, we really are... We are therefore in urgent need of a sense of our own existence which is in accord with the physical facts and which overcomes our feeling of alienation from the universe. Alan Watts, a key thinker of Western Zen Buddhism offers spiritual answers to the problems of a materialistic lifestyle, alienated from the natural world. In understanding the individual's real place in the universe, he presents a critique of Western culture and a healing alternative.
