In my own way

This autobiography offers a more personal and reflective look at Watts's intellectual development, providing context for the philosophical ideas explored in his more academic or instructional books. It reveals the journey behind his well-known interpretations of Eastern thought, rather than presenting those interpretations directly.

The book offers Watts's own perspective on his life, including his relationships and experiences, which were sometimes unconventional. It provides his personal narrative regarding aspects of his life that drew public attention.
