Nature, Man and Woman

13 minAlan Watts

What's it about

Are you tired of feeling like a stranger in your own body and an outsider in the natural world? Discover how to dissolve the artificial barrier between yourself and the universe, and find a profound sense of belonging by embracing your true, instinctual nature. This summary of Alan Watts's classic work reveals why the Western split between spirit and body is the root of our anxiety. You'll learn how to reconnect with your physical self, embrace the wisdom of Taoism, and see yourself not as a lonely ego, but as an integral part of nature itself.
