Lightbulb The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are

Title: "The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are"
Author: Alan W. Watts
Copyright 1966
148 Pages

Back Cover:
In The Book Alan Watts attacks the problem of alienation head-on, and lays down specific guidelines for a new experience of life that incorperates the essence of his insights into Western science and Eastern intuition. In formulating his own solution to the urgent problem of personal identity, Dr. Watts modernizes and restates the ancient Hindu philosophy of Vendanta, demonstrating its power as a means for breaking through our world of cool relationships, canned lives, outsider anxieties. In such chapters as "How To Be a Genuine Fake," "The World Is Your Body," and "It," he persuades the reader to a self-examination that shatters "the big lie and hallucination" of alienation. A summary statement of Alan Watts' investigation into the nature of the self, The Book offeres a fresh and provocative answer to the question "Who am I?"

My friend turned me onto this book about two weeks ago. I ordered it through an online bookstore -used- for about $2. I'm half way through it, and am glad I spent the effort to acquire it. The material is not too dense, and makes for good reading while stoned.
