The Wisdom of Insecurity: A Message for an Age of Anxiety by Alan Watts

hopeful informative inspiring reflective slow-paced

4.25

 Watts has such an interesting outlook on the world, and I think it could be good for all of us to think a little more like him. I have long been a fan of Watts's talks and writings, but I have never sat down and read a full book by him before. I really enjoyed the lay out of his argument and how he slowly brought us through his thinking to reach this conclusion about staying present.

Watts often takes a lot from eastern religions (something he has admitted to) and makes them more understandable for western audiences, and this book does a fantastic job, particularly in the explanation of what "God" is or should be thought of.

Watts wrote this book a long time ago, but the "age of anxiety" has only gotten worse, I think that this book is a must-read for anyone.
