In this new edition of his acclaimed autobiography -- long out of
print and rare until now -- Alan Watts tracks his spiritual and
philosophical evolution from a child of religious conservatives in
rural England to a freewheeling spiritual teacher who challenged
Westerners to defy convention and think for themselves. 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 Watts' 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 Watts' 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.
