{"product_id":"in-my-own-way-an-autobiography","title":"In My Own Way: An Autobiography","description":"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, \u003ci\u003eIn My Own Way\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1577315847\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781577315841\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Watts, Alan, N\/A, N\/A\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: New World Library\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"New World Library","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (May 2007)","offer_id":45658038567109,"sku":"9781577315841","price":20.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781577315841.jpg?v=1768897382","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/in-my-own-way-an-autobiography","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
