“It’s hard to believe after more than four decades, his wisdom rings true in our lives more than any other time in human history”

I have colossal respect for Alan Watts as he impacted my life in so many ways. For many years I often wondered why hasn't anyone revived this mans buried legacy? I [can’t] think of anyone better than Mindvalley bringing his legacy and body of work alive in the true light it deserves. 
Alan wasn't just a gifted man, but one of the most powerful orators I've ever come across. In the initial videos I watched (initially I had never even seen his face in any videos) I was totally captivated by his voice and speech pattern. He had this instant magnetism that was so eloquent having the ability to pull you in with whatever he was communicating. He was an effortless speaker. The energy in his words resonated with every cell in my body and it wasn't too long before I started watching strings of his videos and going through an Alan Watts frenzy..
I was so thirsty to know more and more about his teachings and even more fascinated how these recordings were over 45 years ago. I was instantly intrigued with his philosophies from the get go, and wanted to infect the world by sharing everything I had just discovered. He had the power to provoke thought and stretch the curtains of your mind even when you weren't looking. It’s hard to believe after more than four decades, his wisdom rings true in our lives more than any other time in human history. 
No amount of thank you's will ever be enough for this incredible platform you are spreading to the world.
