"Alan Watts was perhaps the single greatest influence on my own intellectual development that I can think of."
Alan Watts was perhaps the single greatest influence on my own intellectual development that I can think of. He also taught me how to write—I literally copied out, by hand, entire books of his, watching to see how he put words together. He was a pioneer of East-West integration of stunning originality. He was also a speaker of unmatched fluency and compelling delivery. If you don’t know who he is, I suggest you start here, with Mindvalley’s Alan Watts: The Quest to Answer Life’s Big Questions. And if you’ve never actually read or heard Alan Watts, I assure you that you are in for the one of the most delightful, inspiring, and insightful experiences of your life, and something you absolutely do not want to miss. ”
