Book Review: The Wisdom of Insecurity - A Message for an Age of Anxiety by Alan W. Watts

First published in 1951, this well-written book remains relevant. The book argues humans spend too much time anticipating the future, regretting the past, and not living in the present. Chapters on suffering, awareness, and self are particularly relevant to Buddhism. With all the recent books on these subjects, I repeatedly marveled at the timeliness of this book written over a half century ago.
