Story
At the root of human conflict is our fundamental misunderstanding of who we are. The illusion that we are isolated beings, unconnected to the rest of the universe, has led us to view the “outside” world with hostility, and has fueled our misuse of technology and our violent and hostile subjugation of the natural world. To help us understand that the self is in fact the root and ground of the universe, Alan Watts provides us with a much-needed answer to the problem of personal identity, distilling and adapting the Hindu philosophy of Vedanta.

So so racist
Reviewed: 03-01-24
The way that this collection speaks about Native Americans is gross. It repeatedly calls them savages and primitive and insults their intelligence. It’s not 1800 anymore. We’ve moved past this.
Additionally, every chapter starts about 2 minutes into the chapter. It’s not labeled correctly.
There are much better compilations that don’t degrade cultures arbitrarily.
