【アラン・ワッツ】常識ハズレの人生ハック【心が驚くほど軽くなる生き方】

Are you feeling rushed to "live properly"? What if life wasn't a serious race to achieve something, but rather a "music" or "dance" where you simply enjoy each moment? Here, we'll introduce some tips for living life lightly from the perspective of Alan Watts, a British thinker influenced by Eastern philosophy. We often tend to sacrifice the present for the future. However, Watts teaches that "life is not a list of problems to be solved, but an experience to be savored." This video explains four rules for letting go of the burdens we unconsciously carry and re-examining life as a "grand game," as well as how to liberate ourselves from ego (roles). Discovering the richness of being "purposeless" and the "intelligence like water" that isn't attached to results may make your days more playful. Why not relax a little and rediscover the fun that is life?

A best-seller since its release in the US in 1966, and still a best-seller today! This is the culmination of Alan Watts's work, who became a charismatic leader for young people in the 1960s counterculture. This is the Japanese translation of "The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are." Isn't it tough living in the "rat race"? The mainstream modern view of society presents us with a cold, mechanical world. It's only natural to feel isolated, like there's nothing to rely on, and to fear that everything will end when we die. But if you question it, you'll quickly realize just how contradictory society's rules are. Viewing things individually is merely a fragmented version of society. You're not alone. You're simply unknowingly participating in the game society creates. You've been forced to follow one rule after another, and you've been so focused on living your life that you didn't even notice. When we remove these silly constraints, the world will reveal itself to us as it truly is. When you realize this, you'll be able to escape the rat race and enjoy the world. So, if you had no restrictions, what role would you like to play?
