A revelatory primer on what it means to be human, from "the perfect guide for a course correction in life" (Deepak Chopra)--and a mind-opening manual of initiation into the central mystery of existence.

At the root of human conflict is our fundamental misunderstanding of who we are. The illusion that we are isolated beings, unconnected to the rest of the universe, has led us to view the "outside" world with hostility, and has fueled our misuse of technology and our violent and hostile subjugation of the natural world. To help us understand that the self is in fact the root and ground of the universe, Watts has crafted a revelatory primer on what it means to be human--and a mind-opening manual of initiation into the central mystery of existence.

In The Book, Alan Watts provides us with a much-needed answer to the problem of personal identity, distilling and adapting the Hindu philosophy of Vedanta.

NOT REAL LEATHER, but cute design.
Color: White
THIS IS NOT REAL LEATHER! Maybe they grind up leather bits and mix it with some synthetic material and call it genuine leather. But if you’re looking for full grain leather do not buy it. Though it’s a very cute design, it’s much too expensive for a synthetic bag!

Might false advertisement
Color: Brown
Delivery and their packaging was very good. Also, design and color is nice as well. BUT I don’t think it’s genuine leather. It feels like pu leather.

Shipping was horrible.
Color: Brown
Very nice purse. The leather is beautiful. Strap length is perfect. I’m tall so I was concerned it wouldn’t hit my hip. I can also fit large-ish wallet, phone, brush, and other miscellaneous stuff a girl needs. Took forever to receive. Had to contact customer service. If I didn’t I might still be waiting.
