Greetings, Cut to the chase. I had a biopsy about 10 days ago. They found a suspicious area in my right breast, from an earlier mammogram and ultrasound.

Meet Alan Watts: An English writer, speaker and self-styled “philosophical entertainer”, known for interpreting and popularizing Indian and Chinese traditions of Buddhist, Taoist, and Hindu philosophy for a Western audience.

Completely updated, this adaptation offers a fresh interpretation of the 1903 classic, ‘As a Man Thinketh’ …often called the greatest ‘self help’ book of all time, and others claim to have inspired The Secret and Laws of Attraction. Although still immensely powerful, the original book was written in a time when… frankly no one gave a damn about what women thought….
