description: Combined in this one-volume edition are these three classics:The Way of Zen is a clear and comprehensive account of Zen Buddhism in its historical and cultural setting. Alan Watts beautifully interprets the Eastern way of experiencing liberation for the Western reader who is trapped in abstract thought.Nature, Man, and Woman vividly illustrates the theme of man and nature with the parallel problem of man's relation to woman, showing that sexual anxiety reflects alienation from the organic whole that is nature.Psychotherapy East and West compares ways of Eastern liberation - Buddhism, Taoism, Vedanta, and Yoga - to the way of Western liberation, psychotherapy, finding that all seek to relieve the vicious cycle of seemingly endless attempts to solve a false problem.
