This is It: Essays on Zen and Spiritual Experience

Great book.

About 50 years ago I avidly read virtually his every book. This latest repeat made me realise why, he can convey the most difficult ideas in his field of Eastern 'spiritual' practice with deep insight into Western religions. If you are interested in these areas and their more modern interpretations like mindfulness from its Buddhist roots and the fading fashion of Zen you will be amply rewarded by reading this collection of essays.

I’d been meaning to read Watts for a while. This short collection of essays was a good start.
