[tps_title]The Wisdom of Insecurity by Alan W. Watts – 2011[/tps_title]

In order to find security in our lives, we look to religion, or philosophical ways. The Wisdom of Insecurity highlights the importance of our search for self-stability during a time where many are misguided. The author, Alan Watts boldly explains where our insecurity originates from and how our determination to be secure can sometimes block us from reaching higher heights.

Excerpt: “There is, then, the feeling that we live in a time of unusual insecurity. In the past hundred years so many long-established traditions have broken down – traditions of family and social life, of government, of the economic order, and of religious belief. As the years go by, there seem to be fewer and fewer rocks to which we can hold, fewer things which we can regard as absolutely right and true, and fixed for all time.”
