Love Alan Watts. His books can be a bit of a headache to wrap one's mind around as they can be inherently ambiguous and almost juxtaposing in nature, but that's ironically the nature of the human experience. I'd recommend starting out with his novel "The Wisdom of Insecurity" and moving on from there, this is more a historical/relative musing on the history of eastern philosophy/spirituality and how westerners can learn from it. His other books which are more suited for the overall 'human' experience are a bit more engaging and easier to digest. Highly recommend "The Book" as well, absolutely love this dude's work, it's helped me a lot with thinking less and living a life that I can finally describe as 'peaceful'. Good luck with life all, love ya, peace Smilie

He's been dead a while, but I'd pay big bucks for that. This guy's like the real life Obi Wan Kenobi, magnificent voice
