From early in this intellectual life, Watts shows himself to be a philosophical renegade and wide-ranging autodidact who came to Buddhism through the teachings of Christmas Humphreys and D. T. Suzuki. Told in a nonlinear style, In My Own Way wonderfully combines Wattsâ own brand of unconventional philosophy and often hilarious accounts of gurus, celebrities, psychedelic drug experiences, and wry observations of Western culture. A charming foreword written by Wattsâ father sets the tone of this warm, funny, and beautifully written story of a compelling figure who encouraged readers to “follow your own weird⠗ something he always did himself, as his remarkable account of his life shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780394469119\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pantheon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51757822279981,"sku":"FBM_New_244","price":80.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/5853\/5981\/files\/61n5BwVJUHL.jpg?v=1768499996","url":"https:\/\/silkroadstore.us\/products\/in-my-own-way-an-autobiography-1915-1965","provider":"Silk Road Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
