FEW BOOKS (https://www.ereads.com/alan-watts/)
THE WAY OF ZEN
“This is one of Alan Watts’s top books divided into two sections. The first held precious knowledge about the history of Zen Buddhism as well as important principles and practices. The second half has its own sections that include titles like Empty and Marvelous, Sitting Quietly, Doing Nothing, Za-zen and the Koan, and Zen and the Arts.”
“…for any reader who wishes to spiritually grow, improve, and make changes in their life. To understand life itself”

THE BOOK
“This book is about understanding yourself. It is also Watts’s most famous book in general. Watts takes you on a journey through the universe in an attempt to make people understand their meaning and presence in this world. After all, if we understand ourselves we will have a better understanding of what everyone else is going through and what they generally desire happiness.”
