Alan Watts, a guru of the 1960s San Francisco counter-culture, introduced Eastern wisdom to Westerners. His influential books, lectures and broadcasts made him a pioneer and a crucial part in the movement towards New Age holistic consciousness, and showed thousands of people new ways of seeing themselves and the world around them.This collection of Watts's writings from 1934 to 1956 includes rare material from British and American journals, many of which no longer exist. Covering everything from Zen, Jung, Krishnamurti, G.K. Chesterton, Lao-tzu, Buddha, and Krishna, this book offers fascinating insight into the spiritual development of one of the most significant and controversial spiritual teachers of our time.
