Inspir?ndose en los antiguos textos de Lao-tzu, Chuang-tzu, el libro de Kuan-tzu y el I Ching, as? como en los estudios de Joseph Needham, Lin Yutang y Arthur Waley -entre otros-, Alan Watts ha escrito, con su inimitable estilo, un libro destinado a convertirse en el texto occidental b?sico sobre el Tao?smo.El libro comienza con un cap?tulo acerca del lenguaje chino -que, seg?n Watts, pasar? a convertirse en el segundo idioma internacional despu?s del ingl?s-, para explicar, a continuaci?n, lo que significa el Tao (el fluir de la naturaleza), wu wei (la no-acci?n) y te (el poder que emana de ello).

When Jack Karouac wrote about Zen in Dharma Bums he was echoing the sentiments of the Beat generation, who found in Zen credence for a way of life unencumbered by the limits of «square» society. And it was Alan Watts who first wrote and spoke about Zen and Eastern culture in terms accessible to mainstream Western audiences.Through his popular radio series Way Beyond the West Alan Watts brought listeners a delightful and practical side of Zen, which he prescribed as «a cure for education and culture.» By the early sixties his radio programs were renowned for their synthesis of Eastern wisdom and everyday life.

Deep down, most people think that happiness comes from having or doing something. Here, in Alan Watts’s groundbreaking third book (originally published in 1940), he offers a more challenging thesis: authentic happiness comes from embracing life as a whole in all its contradictions and paradoxes, an attitude that Watts calls the “way of acceptance.” Drawing on Eastern philosophy, Western mysticism, and analytic psychology, Watts demonstrates that happiness comes from accepting both the outer world around us and the inner world inside us — the unconscious mind, with its irrational desires, lurking beyond the awareness of the ego. Although…

Before he became a counterculture hero, Alan Watts was known as an incisive scholar of Eastern and Western psychology and philosophy. In this 1961 classic, Watts demonstrates his deep understanding of both Western psychotherapy and the Eastern spiritual philosophies of Buddhism, Taoism, Vedanta, and Yoga. He examined the problem of humans in a seemingly hostile universe in ways that questioned the social norms and illusions that bind and constrict modern humans. Marking a groundbreaking synthesis, Watts asserted that the powerful insights of Freud and Jung, which had, indeed, brought psychiatry close to the edge of liberation, could, if…
