The finest travel companion - By: Tim Hardwick, 15 Dec 2004 
I have many of Watts' books. While nothing can touch his spoken lectures for incisive, paradigm-shattering clarity, & although The Book on the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are stands out as his seminal work, this collection of writings is brilliantly lucid, easily digestiblein short sittings, & provides those much needed flashes of enlightenment that every modern mind requires. A perfect travelling companion, I can see this book getting dog-eared & stained through many years of backpacking. Fantastic!
just marvelous - By: , 27 Dec 1998 This is perhaps the best of the half dozen or so Watts books I've read. Watts is a brilliant philosopher of the "Big Picture", & it is all wonderfully laid out here: Cosmic consciousness, Tantric Buddhism, the Hippies, Tao... he nails them allin splendid fashion. Highly recommendable.
A concise summary of Watts' enlightening lectures. - By: , 24 Aug 1998 Unlike "The Book", one of my favorite books of Watts, "Cloud-Hidden..." is a collection of short essays that can be digestedin a brief sitting. Some of these essays are direct transcriptions of his lectures. Yet, I find myself returning to this book quite often for a quick "Watts fix".
