Deal Details
Various Retailers have The Wisdom of Insecurity (eBook) by Alan Watts for $1.99.

Thanks to Community Member phoinix for finding this deal.

Available Retailers:About this book:
  • Spending all our time trying to anticipate and plan for the future and to lamenting the past, we forget to embrace the here and now. We are so concerned with tomorrow that we forget to enjoy today. Drawing from Eastern philosophy and religion, Alan Watts shows that it is only by acknowledging what we do not—and cannot—know that we can learn anything truly worth knowing.

Life-changing book if you're new to mindfulness / Taoism / Alan Watts. Can't speak to the Kindle quality however. I nearly dipped my entire paperback in highlighter the first time I read it in my 20's.

The "Age of Anxiety" in question was the Cold War, but equally applicable today.

The 12 comments from last deal didn't help much.

Grabbed it with a Slow Ship Credit…. in hopes of Nirvana.

Nevermind is a solid classic, but Bleach is a rawer, more punk-influenced sound. I didn't love In Utero.

and an entertaining read, as well. Watts is good with narrative style and storytelling.

What's the best site to buy from for a Kobo? Or should it just be converted with Calibre or something? Or just anything that's ePub?

From Kobo... but it seems like you've got the right idea that you can buy it from anywhere and convert with Calibre, though epub is going to be less hassle than Amazon formats

You can pry my Gen X Dadjokes from my cold, dead hands. Or don't. Whatever.

It's a great use of Amazon e-credits.

Thanks, I guess it goes to reason pretty much all eBook retailers will be in on the deal. Now figuring out if the coupon code from spinning the wheel @ Booksamillion will work on eBooks..
