Esta es una transcripción de una conferencia realizada por Alan Watts. El editor es su hijo y pertenece a las obras póstumas del autor.

Al ser una conferencia, o charla, el lenguaje es ameno. Habla de la vida y las ataduras que nos impiden ser felices. También no da algunas indicaciones para meditar.

Pese a ser solo un libro, muy corto, nos deja un bienestar en el alma.

M’encanta Alan Watts, però aquest llibre no m’ha dit res. En part crec que és degut a que és un recopilatori d’algunes ponències que va fer abans de morir i no una obra escrita per ell com a tal, i també pel fet que la va escriure el seu fill.
