Deal Details
Various Retailers have The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are by Alan Watts (eBook) on sale for $1.99.

Thanks to Community Member phoinix for finding this deal.

Available from the following retailers:Book Synopsis:
  • At the root of human conflict is our fundamental misunderstanding of who we are. The illusion that we are isolated beings, unconnected to the rest of the universe, has led us to view the "outside" world with hostility, and has fueled our misuse of technology and our violent and hostile subjugation of the natural world. To help us understand that the self is in fact the root and ground of the universe, Alan Watts provides us with a much-needed answer to the problem of personal identity, distilling and adapting the Hindu philosophy of Vedanta.
  • A revelatory primer on what it means to be human and a mind-opening manual of initiation into the central mystery of existence, by "perhaps the foremost interpreter of Eastern disciplines for the contemporary West" (Los Angeles Times).

Great book, quite quick to go through. I appreciated his explanation of eastern views of god, as a westerner it was quite digestible.

I don't like audio books. I never pay attention.

Some are visual learners, some audio. I'm more visual myself, but have learned to diversify to audio to take advantage of audiobooks with idle time such as commutes.
