    “Book Descriptions: If you were God, asked Alan Watts, what kind of universe would you create? A perfect one free of suffering and drama? Or one filled with surprise and delight?

    With Just So, the celebrated philosopher and self-described spiritual entertainer invites us to explore the hidden dimensions that shape both the cosmos and our personal experience of it.

    From the 1950s to the 1970s, Eastern spiritual philosophies ignited in the West profound new ways of perceiving ourselves and the mysteries of life. And from the beginning, Alan Watts was at the forefront sparking insight after insight at live gatherings and radio broadcasts. Today, Alan Watts books and recordings bring perennial delight to new readers and listeners of all ages and beliefs.

    Here, the luminary author and speaker explores three often-overlooked yet essential universal dynamics: connection, play, and pleasure. This exceptional collection of sessions includes three complementary seminars:

    The Cosmic Network a journey into the interconnected web of the personal and the infinite
    Ecological Awareness reflections on how humanity and nature evolve through discovery and purposeless play
    The Pursuit of Pleasure how a true materialism connects us fully through our senses with others and to the natural flow of the cosmos.

    Along the way, you ll explore many other themes, at turns humorous, prophetic, and more relevant today than ever. What unfolds is a liberating view of life that arises from possibility and the unpredictable perfect and just so not in spite of its messy imperfections, but because of them."”
