Description
In order to come to your senses, Alan Watts often said, you sometimes need to go out of your mind. Out of Your Mind brings readers, for the first time, six of this legendary thinker's most engaging teachings on how to break through the limits of the rational mind.
Offering answers to generations of spiritual seekers, Alan Watts is the voice for all who search for an understanding of their identity and role in the world.
For those both new and familiar with Watts, this book invites us to delve into his favourite pathways out of the trap of conventional awareness: discover the art of the 'controlled accident' — what happens when you stop taking your life so seriously and start enjoying it with complete sincerity.
Embrace chaos to discover your deepest purpose.
How do we come to believe 'the myth of myself'—that we are skin-encapsulated egos separate from the world around us—and how can we transcend that illusion?
Find the miracle that occurs when we stop taking life so seriously.
