Summary:
The book is a collection of essays that explore the central theme of self-realization, drawing on Eastern philosophy and religion to argue that true identity is found by understanding one's relationship with the universe. It encourages readers to embrace the present moment and to discover the joy and wisdom that comes from recognizing one's role in the natural order of things.
Key points:
1. Live in the Now: Watts emphasizes the importance of experiencing the present moment, rather than dwelling on the past or future.
