From the book's back cover: The concept of work and duty lies at the heart of Western thought. Grimly we face our goals. We see tasks as adversaries to master. We regard jobs, whether routine or creative, as projects to put behind us so that we can find pleasure elsewhere. In "The Nature of Man" Alan Watts shows that any activity can be a pleasure in itself. Life, he says, is a kind of dance - to be wholly enjoyed for what it is, not for where it leads. About the Author: Alan Wilson Watts (January 6, 1915 – November 16, 1973) was a British philosopher, writer, and speaker, best known as an interpreter and popularizer of Eastern philosophy for a Western audience. He wrote more than 25 books and numerous articles on subjects such as personal identity, the true nature of reality, higher consciousness, meaning of life, concepts and images of God and the non-material pursuit of happiness. In his books he relates his experience to scientific knowledge and to the teachings of Eastern and Western religion and philosophy. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
