ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Book On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are by Alan Watts delves into a fundamental societal "taboo": our ignorance of our true nature. Watts proposes that the common perception of oneself as an isolated ego within a physical body is an illusion. He explores how this sensation of separateness clashes with scientific understanding and Eastern philosophies like Vedanta. The book examines how this illusion affects our relationship with the natural world and our overall sense of existence. Watts uses metaphors and analogies to unravel this deeply ingrained misconception.
