description: In "Uncarved Block, Unbleached Silk," Alan Watts, described in his lifetime as a man who "rode the tiger of thoughts and ideas," transforms the aesthetic insights of the East into the language and concepts of the West. Inspirational as well as instructive, the book also discusses how the Oriental symbols of the fulfilled life can be applied to our lives and how the principles of Zen philosophy can lead to a happier and more serene life. Photographs by Jeff Berner, a longtime friend of Alan Watts, highlight the text.
