This Is It Alan W Watts by Alan W. Watts instant download after payment.

Alan Watts' "This Is It and Other Essays on Zen and Spiritual Experience" offers a compelling invitation to explore the profound connection between the spiritual and the material, a theme mirrored in the book's evocative cover. The design, a stark contrast of dark backgrounds against crisp, white lettering and a luminous leaf, visually sets the stage for the exploration that lies within. The title itself, "THIS IS IT," printed in bold, white capitals, hints at the core message: the present moment, the ordinary, is where true understanding resides.

Within, Watts masterfully dismantles the notion that spirituality exists in some rarefied realm separate from everyday life. Through a series of reflective essays, he argues that the "spiritual" and the "material" are not opposing forces, but rather two inseparable facets of a single, unified existence. This idea is presented not with rigid dogma, but with an honesty and gentle humor that invites the reader to explore these concepts without pressure or judgment. Watts' voice is like that of a companion, sharing a way of “seeing things” with the casual ease of someone "singing in the bathtub or splashing in the sea."
