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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTold 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 seekers to ¿follow your own weird¿ ¿ something he always did himself, as his remarkable account of his life shows.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47104436666608,"sku":"2940169284102","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169284102_p0.jpg?v=1763678445","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169284102","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
