Minimal shelf handling wear with minor age-spotting on the top area of the cloth. The Dust Jacket is price-clipped carefully handled with a closed tear top edge vertical at the 'K'.

In his insightful work, "The Book," Alan Watts delivers a profound and much-needed solution to the perplexing dilemma of personal identity by drawing upon the rich wisdom of Hindu philosophy, specifically Vedanta. Watts delves deep into the heart of human conflict, pinpointing a fundamental misunderstanding that has plagued us for centuries. Our misguided belief in our isolation from the universe has sowed the seeds of hostility towards the world around us. This illusion has driven our misuse of technology and led to our aggressive exploitation of the natural world. In this transformative exploration, Watts guides readers to recognize that our sense of self is intricately intertwined with the very fabric of the universe. Crafted with eloquence and wisdom, "The Book" serves as a revelatory primer, illuminating the essence of what it means to be human. It stands as a beacon of enlightenment, inviting readers to embark on a profound journey of self-discovery and providing a gateway to the core mystery of existence. Watts' work is not just a book; it's a transformative experience, an indispensable guide for anyone seeking to unravel the intricacies of their own identity within the vastness of the universe.
