New York, NY: Pantheon, 1951. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. 1st Edition; 3rd Printing; Clean, tight, unmarked; blue cloth covers with silver titles on spine and silver swirl on front cover; very light wear to corners and spine extremes; large chip to upper edge and small chips to corners of dust jacket; several closed tears to tears on dj; blue dust jacket is age tanned but still bright; Watts' "message for an age of anxiety" is as powerful today as it was when this modern classic was first published. We spend too much time trying to anticipate and plan for the future; too much time lamenting the past. We often miss the pleasures of the moment in our anxious efforts to ensure the next moment is as enjoyable. Drawing from Eastern philosophy and religion, Watts argues that in order to lead a fulfilling life, one must embrace the present-live fully in the now.

New York: Pantheon Books, 1951. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. No statement of printing on the copyright page. Watts (1915-73) draws on the wisdom of Eastern philosophy and religion in this timeless and classic guide to living a more fulfilling life. His central insight is more relevant now than ever: when we spend all of our time worrying about the future and lamenting the past, we are unable to enjoy the present moment-the only one we are actually able to inhabit. Octavo. Original black cloth binding, with silver stamping. Light stain to the bottom corner of the front board (not affecting the contents). The dust jacket is price-clipped, with a bit of toning along the spine and folds, and some minor shelfwear; otherwise very good.
