Overview

By closely examining the inner workings of the mind, Mr. Watts exposes the ego-based myths that serve as obstacles to resolving conflicts and to finding happiness and meaning in a polarized world. With uncommon insight, the author explains how the root of society's and the individual's problems lies in the human mind rather than in social or economic conditions. Based on the exaggerated awareness of separation and differences, rather than of unity and similarities, our dualistic thinking brain totally accepts one side while rejecting the other. The authentic Self is seen by the author as the key to realizing human potential and to experiencing the greatest high, the love connection between Self and Other that puts the missing piece in place and provides the profound sense of belonging that we all seek.

``With eloquence and wisdom, Tom Watts has extracted from the world's great religious and ethical teachings one simple rule, namely, that 'the unity of the whole depends on the diversity of the parts.' Tom's sensible analysis is precisely what an anxious population needs to gain the character strength for survival and renewal. Those who fail to respect polarity are doomed to be crushed by it.'' Peter Koestenbaum, Ph.D.\\ Recipient of the California Statewide Outstanding Professor Award, author of The Inner Side of Greatness, ``It's been said that the unexamined life is not worth living and it's equally true that the unlived life is not worth examining. Tom Watts has fully lived and fully examined life, and shares his journey through his book, Deal With the Devil, Dance With God, He travels that familiar terrain of perennial wisdom with a fresh eye that sees simultaneously from multiple viewpoints, helping the reader see differently things they already know. With wit and insight, he unwraps the paradoxes of life -- connection and separation, free will and determinism -- and weaves it all together through the harmony of opposites. If you already know everything, this book is for you. It will tell you even more about what you already know.'' -- Steve Bhaerman aka Swami Beyondananda\\ Cosmic Comic and author of Spontaneous Evolution (with Bruce Lipton)
