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.

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

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..

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