Alan Watts became famous first as a brilliant intellectual and then as a serious student of Buddhism and meditation. In the 1970s, the last years of his life, he retreated to a small, isolated cabin deep in the woods. He meditated every morning and then wrote. Still the Mind consists of several talks he gave in his later years, recorded and edited by his son, Mark Watts, and then published as a book. His speaking shows a maturity and wisdom that can only come after years of meditation.

Alan Watts, beloved for bringing a childlike wonder to the spiritual journey, once wrote a story for children. The Fish Who Found the Sea brings this delightful and wise parable to life for a new generation. In this tale of a tail, we meet a fish with a curiously familiar problem - he’s gotten himself so mixed up that he spends all his time chasing himself in circles! Only the Great Sea knows how to help our poor fish get out of the mess he’s created with his own runaway thoughts.

In this eye-opening account of "metaphysical blindness" in the West, Watts accents the dense exploration of religious philosophy with wry wit that will engage inquiring minds in search of spiritual power and wisdom.

Möchten Sie im Chaos des Lebens inneren Frieden finden? In dem von Deepack Chopra empfohlenen Hörbuch "Weisheit des ungesicherten Lebens" zeigt Alan Watts, ein weltberühmter Religionsphilosoph, auf, wie unsere moderne Gesellschaft aufgrund ihrer Betonung von materiellem Erfolg, Sicherheit und Kontrolle oft keine Freude in den Menschen hervorbringt. Er argumentiert, dass das Leben tiefgründig und unvorhersehbar ist und es letztlich an uns liegt, ihm einen Sinn zu geben, wobei Erfüllung nur aus der Akzeptanz der Vergänglichkeit dieses Lebens resultiert.

Bazată pe o serie de prelegeri înregistrate, cartea de față abordează trei probleme fascinante: banii, în contrast cu adevărata bogăție, spiritualitatea unui materialism mai profund și modul în care tehnologia și concepțiile filozofice ne ghidează spre o legătură tot mai intensă cu universul pe care îl locuim. Vei explora numeroase alte teme pline de clarviziune, dar și de umor, mai relevante ca oricând.

De ce oamenii acceptă viața, dar nu știu s-o iubească, privind înfricoșați spre capătul ei? De ce căutarea fericirii duce la stări de tensiune și anxietate? De ce omenirea și-a pierdut sensul și de ce prea puțini simt că și-au găsit calea? De ce în suflet se dă un război din care cei mai mulți ies învinși? Alan Watts îți oferă câteva răspunsuri. Ce înseamnă fericirea este o carte care pune în balanță filosofia orientală și pe cea occidentală și compară ideile propuse de diferite religii.

À la source des conflits humains se trouve notre méprise fondamentale de ce que nous sommes. L’illusion que nous sommes des êtres isolés, sans lien avec le reste de l’univers, nous a conduits à considérer le monde « extérieur » avec animosité et a alimenté notre mauvaise utilisation de la technologie et notre soumission violente et hostile du monde naturel. Pour nous aider à comprendre que le moi s’avère en fait la source et le fondement de l'univers.
