Our misguided belief in our isolation from the universe has sowed the seeds of hostility towards the world around us.

It stands as a beacon of enlightenment, inviting readers to embark on a profound journey of self-discovery and providing a gateway to the core mystery of existence. Watts' work is not just a book; it's a transformative experience, an indispensable guide for anyone seeking to unravel the intricacies of their own identity within the vastness of the universe.
