Alan Watts | Lecture on Work & Play | Essential lectures of Alan Watts

This is a lecture by Alan Watts himself on his understanding of Work & Play

Alan Watts once said "a beautifully functioning mind doesn't get in its own way, it doesn't think itself".

Watts gained a following while working as a volunteer programmer at the KPFA radio station in Berkeley. He wrote more than 25 books and articles on religion and philosophy, introducing the emerging hippie counterculture to The Way of Zen (1957), one of the first bestselling books on Buddhism. In Psychotherapy East and West (1961), he argued that Buddhism could be thought of as a form of psychotherapy. He considered Nature, Man and Woman (1958) to be, "from a literary point of view—the best book I have ever written". He also explored human consciousness and psychedelics in works such as "The New Alchemy" (1958) and The Joyous Cosmology (1962). (Wiki)
