The Wisdom of Insecurity

We often dwell on the past and the future, forgetting about the present. We try to predict what lies ahead and worry about past mistakes. This can lead us to lose sight of what we have right now.
Drawing on Eastern philosophy, Alan Watts argues that happiness can be found only in the present moment. We must learn to accept that we cannot know what the future holds. When we live in the present, we can fully enjoy life and not worry about what lies ahead.
Watts' book «The Wisdom of Insecurity» is a thought-provoking read that gives us the opportunity to reflect on our lives. It shows us how we can change our attitude towards life and find true happiness.
