Alan Watts, What do you think of him?

Discussion in 'Philosophy' started by simmer, Oct 8, 2010.

  1. Well? What's your take on his philosophy?

    There's vidoes of his lectures on Youtube for those who aren't familiar.

    I'm currently watching his views on Higher Self
     
  2. His book The Wisdom of Insecurity changed my life.
     
  3. His teachings are profound beyond belief. Listen to him and understand his perspective and you will very clearly see what he speaks of, it is so evident in our surroundings.

    Alan is the man. I have read just about all his books and many audio recordings. I can read or listen to him over and over and its always inspiring. Yes lots of good stuff on U Tube that are very good. Tripping with Alan is quite a experience done that more times than I can count.

    Back when Napster was still up I downloaded about 20 hours of his recordings. His son Mark sells the audio recordings. It is great that he recorded most of his many lectures he has a lot of material out there. Its all time less as well just as relevant today as it was 30 years ago.
     
  5. I actually just recently got into Alan Watts and have gained a lot of insight from his work.

    It's hard for me to believe that this was broadcast on television nearly forty years ago.
