A mixed collection of essays with some 5-star moments

4 stars

This is one of several works of Alan Watts that was compiled and published by his son, Mark Watts, after his death. Since it covers a wide range of periods in his life, the quality and depth of the essays vary greatly. Still, I would highly recommend picking this up for some of its more interesting sections. The Language of Metaphysical Experience especially spoke to me, as it perfectly expresses the usefulness of religion and mysticism despite their seeming irrelevance to all matters of the physical world. Tao and Wu-wei and the titular Become What You Are are also memorable.
