(  )1   JGL53 | Jul 13, 2009 |  This book changed my view of the world forever. ( ) Wattsian | Jan 9, 2009 | DIANA GREEN: This is the book that first made me aware of the spiritual possibilities of being human, and how those possibilites open new doors. It let me re-examine who and what human beings are and can be. If it can do the same for another young mind, that strikes me as good. MCADTEST | Jan 7, 2009 | Maybe it was the psy's but this book changed the way I thought at the time! A must read for those on the quest. (  ) sfisk | Sep 4, 2008 | Watts asks a very fundamental philosophical question, "Who am I?," and the answer he comes up with is mind-boggling. To my knowledge, no academic philosopher has refuted his main argument. ( ) senafernando | Jul 20, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0679723005, Paperback)Modern Western culture and technology is inextricably tied to the belief in the existence of a self as a separate ego, separated from and in conflict with the rest of the world. In this classic book, Watts provides a lucid and simple presentation of an alternative view based on Hindi and Vedantic philosophy.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:04 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
