Buy The Book on the Taboo Against Knowing Who You are by Alan Watts - Paperback by Watts, Alan online on desertcart.ae at best prices. ✓ Fast and free shipping ✓ free returns ✓ cash on delivery available on eligible purchase. Review: In today's polarized world, this book provides an important corrective view of current cultural trends -- essentially a way out, a means to defuse binary hostilities and, written with clarity and wisdom, it is a pleasure to read. Review: Alan watts is truly a genious. There is a part in the book which really left me dumbfounded! I will not spoil what it is(or I can't because you have to read the previous chapters to understand it), but the whole book leads to that moment. If you comprehend and correctly understand the points he makes, when you arrive to that page, Watts will do the following: he will explain how it feels to grasp the thing he is explaining (it feels like the first time riding a bicycle) and then, as you understand the thing it hits you in the same way he describes it! When I understood his point I was laughing out loud, filled with joy and amazement and it really felt in the way he described it! If you manage to keep reminding your self of the knowledge this book gives to you, life is irrefutably easier. The graphic design and typography job in this copy are overall average. A must read for lovers of philosophy!
