“To go out of your mind once a day is tremendously important because by going out of your mind you come to your senses. And if you stay in your mind all of the time, you are over rational, in other words, you are like a very rigid bridge which because it has no give; no craziness in it is going to be blown down by the first hurricane.” Alan Watts

This book is a book by Alan Watts is on philosophy and Zen Buddhism. It is a book of awareness and awakening. A series of lectures taken from the Alan Watts archive.

I absolutely loved this book! It has inspired thoughts about the Self and thoughts as to how I can make the most of this life.

If suffering is indeed life, I still am with the belief that I can relieve myself of much of this suffering by learning to let go, to stop clinging and I can only do this if I am aware and awake. Teachings like this one from Alan Watts assist me with that.
