The Book is a spiritual exploration of true human nature and our place in the universe that challenges widespread but often misled beliefs.

We may believe that modern Western society has eradicated all taboos regarding sex, religion, or belief.

Yet one major taboo remains — the fear of truly understanding ourselves and the world around us.

Alan Watts was a British philosopher and essayist who helped to popularize the insights of Eastern philosophy for Western audiences.

In this book, Watts examines how the modern worldview obscures our true relationship to the universe and to ourselves.
