The art of being yourself

From the book We infer from the title that the concept of "the art of being yourself" is a collection of writings by Alan Watts that address the dilemma of the person searching for themselves or for their true self, which is a pursuit usually undertaken at the expense of seeing life "as it is exactly." According to Alan Watts: Life exists in its beauty only in that very moment, and in that moment, you will find infinity and eternity. Because the current moment is as small as possible; before we can measure it, it slips away from our hands, but it remains forever. The Chinese called this movement and change the way of virtue (Tao). ... A wise man once said that if we try to conform to it, we will distance ourselves from it. But he was not entirely correct. Because the thing that drives curiosity cannot be disobeyed even if you want to; although your thoughts may return to the past or the future, you cannot escape the current moment.
