Anyone whose life requires a course correction could be blessed to be directed by The Wisdom of Insecurity. We invest too much time attempting to anticipate and plan for your future; too long lamenting the past. We often overlook the joys of this moment in our nervous efforts to guarantee the second moment is as pleasurable. Aside from Eastern philosophy and faith, Watts argues it is only by recognizing that which we don’t and can’t understand, we can find something genuinely worth knowing. To be able to lead a satisfying life, an individual has to adopt the gift –live completely in the present moment. Elegantly concluded and lucidly written, this philosophical accomplishment comprises all of the wisdom and soul that distinguished Watts’s long career and contrasts with us still.This novel suggests a complete alteration of ordinary considering the current state of guy. The crucial status of the world compels us to confront this difficulty: just how is man to dwell in a world where he could not be protected, deprived, as most are, of their consolations of spiritual belief? The writer proves that this problem contains its own solution–the maximum happiness, the ultimate religious insight and certitude are located only in our understanding which impermanence and bitterness are inevitable and inseparable in life. Written in a simple and lucid manner, It’s a timely message
