I'm so please to see there are plenty of readers of Wei Wu Wei. My search for his out-of-print books from the '60s was sparked off by reading a quote from one of his books:
"“Why are we unhappy?
Because 99.9% of everything you think,
And everything you do,
Is for yourself –
And there isn’t one.”
They slowly became available again through Amazon and Sentient Publications.
I've tried to distill some of his insight in my own web site: www.whatweare.co.uk. This may sound cheeky but he did say in one of his prefaces that you should give away the book if you don't want it but give it to a seeker as, if someone had given it to him when he was seeking, he would have understood earlier. I haven't found anything else with the breadth and depth of understanding in his books but would love to hear of any suggestions.
