Tao: The Watercourse Way

Drawing on ancient and modern sources, “a lucid discussion of Taoism and the Chinese language [that’s] profound, reflective, and enlightening.” —Boston Globe

According to Deepak Chopra, “Watts was a spiritual polymath, the first and possibly greatest.”

Watts treats the Chinese philosophy of Tao in much the same way as he did Zen Buddhism in his classic The Way of Zen. Critics agree that Tao: The Watercourse Way stands as a perfect monument to the life and literature of Alan Watts.
