About this title

From the Back Cover:

No one has captured the spirit of Taoism as brilliantly as Alan Watts. Between 1968 and 1973 he gave a series of colourful lectures that always drew an enthusiastic crowd of people with diverse interests. All who heard him came away fascinated with the Tao, and captivated by this ancient Oriental way.

At the time of his death, Alan Watts was working on a definitive guide to Taoism, derived from his famous lectures such as 'The Philosophy of the Tao', 'Being in the Way', and 'Landscape, Soundscape'. This work has now been completed by his son. 'Taoism: Way Beyond Seeking' distils the essential teachings of Alan Watts into one volume. Capturing all the energy and penetrating vision of his lectures, it reveals his words to be as relevant and prophetic today as they were over 25 years ago.

Alan Watts(1915-1973) was an acclaimed author, philosopher and acclaimed academic. During the 1960's he held seminars and lectures throughout the US on the nature of Taoism.
