You already know something is wrong with the way you have been taught to pursue happiness. The promotion came through, and you felt better for about a week. The relationship began, and the anxiety did not actually stop. The goal was achieved, and you were already looking for the next one before you could really enjoy the first. Something keeps moving the goalpost, and you are starting to suspect that the goalpost itself is the problem. Two thousand years ago, a group of Greek and Roman philosophers noticed the same pattern in their contemporaries and built a philosophy around solving it. ...

I was not born into a monastery. I was not raised on a mountain in Japan, trained from birth by silent masters who moved like smoke through the pines. I grew up in Augusta, Georgia — where the summers are brutal, the people are proud, and the line between protecting someone and failing them can be razor-thin. But I discovered something in the martial tradition of Ninjutsu, and in the quiet depths of Buddhist philosophy, that changed everything about how I walk through the world. Not just as a man who has dedicated his life to protecting others. But as a human being trying to figure out ...

Here, in Alan Watts’s groundbreaking third book (originally published in 1940), he offers a more challenging thesis: authentic happiness comes from embracing life as a whole in all its contradictions and paradoxes, an attitude that Watts calls the “way of acceptance.” Drawing on Eastern philosophy, Western mysticism, and analytic psychology, Watts demonstrates that happiness comes from accepting both the outer world around us and the inner world inside us,
