Alan W. Watts, renowned for his interpretations of Eastern beliefs for Western audiences, shares timeless concepts that have benefitted years searching for serenity from life’s uncontrollable conditions in The Wisdom of Insecurity: A Message for an Age of Anxiety.

Whenever we spend our emotional energy reliving days gone by and worrying about the near future, we lose the only moments we truly have in the here and today. Drawing from Eastern believed and religion, Watts reveals that the trick to living a satisfying life is definitely to live for today. Our quest to achieve a completely stable and protected environment is fueling our anxieties. Just by acknowledging the truth-that we can not predict tomorrow’s events and outcomes-will enable us find and cherish our joys in the present.

‘Perhaps the foremost interpreter of Eastern disciplines for the contemporary West, Watts had the uncommon gift of ‘composing amazingly the unwritable.”-Los Angeles Times
