T&H Inspiration is on a mission to share inspiring wisdom. The goal is to have you pause, think, and reflect. Many of our videos revolve around the extraordinary teachings of Alan Watts that we produce with permission from the Alan Watts Electronic University.

T&H also films and releases original interviews with iconic people who have experienced successes, while also persevering through life's highs and lows. We look forward to sharing more of these perspectives and insights.

Our hope with these videos is to push your thinking. As Alan Watts said “No one is more dangerously insane than one who is sane all the time: he is like a steel bridge without flexibility, and the order of his life is rigid and brittle.” – Alan Watts.

As Alan said once that life is like dancing. You're not doing it with intention of getting the dance over with. You're just immersed in the dance. Happiness is not something you find, it's something you are.

I've always been pushed to be the best in society's measures of success until I hit the bottom and started aiming for authenticity and what truly matters. It's incredible how we make this living thing so difficult.

Mind blown.
The man is right.
I worked in the ship building industry like my Dad did before me. I got very lucky and became a stay at home Dad. This gave me time to ponder and really see the world for the first time. I’m going to take my daughters out of the school system and home school them so there is real truths being taught and they won’t be conditioned for assembly line work as the schools structure is aimed at doing.

I didn’t go to school I helped my family. I enjoyed my youth I didn’t care about anything!! I now think in a way that others don’t. I’m so thankful for that.

Living equals. "the child participating in adult concerns." Gorgeous.

This is priceless and very inspiring. Do the things you want to do in the present moment always as life will pass you by. Ive had jobs on occasions but have been a musician since i was 15 and now I'm 55 and it has never left me. I have no money but have always got through. Society in many ways in the west, doesnt value what Alan is speaking about and its makes alot of people unhappy and some times worse. Thankyou for these wonderful insights and videos.

Beautiful truth and what year was this? We all got screwed! Im 55 and it sounds like the story of my life and now I try to tell my kids this wisdom in their 20s and thy think Im nuts... Im at the point now to where I have let go of mostly everything and Im building my future in the woods off-grid away from all this mess.... Back to real basics. I wish you all inner peace before global peace ❤

[Hereness]

The most revelation all words. Do not live for your children, live for yourself and your children will live truly as what they see in you. Brilliant Alan. Xx

[dhughes]

I have lived for my own good, and one day I looked around and realized I was alone. The happiest I have ever been was living and doing for others, I just wish I had done it more when I still had the chance.

[KNOWHOPE]

Brilliant advice from Alan Watts from minute 6:50. "There is no point whatsoever in making plans for the future except for those people who are capable of living in the present"

[ronaldhogan]

Every bit of this video makes sense, all of it makes sense. The teachings of Alan Watts.

Love that it circled back to our children…Seems simple enough but yet we still get lost in chasing something we over value, money…
Hope we can all make a living with our passions soon enough before it’s all said and done…

“We thought of life by analogy with a journey, a pilgrimage, which had a serious purpose at the end, and the thing was to get to that end, success or whatever it is, maybe heaven after you’re dead. But we missed the point the whole way along. It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing or to dance while the music was being played.”-AW

[christyis]

Wow, how many off us have felt this way for decades and felt alone, all the while this beautiful man had already said it all - all of it! Are we finally waking up? In comparison to where the world’s mindset was or seemed to be 40 years ago, yes! Very slowly but yes! 👍 🙏🕊️🙏

I had an education in fine art . I studied for eight years and finally got my degree. The hat was thrown up in the air . But then I found myself alone expected to be an Artist. Expecting myself to be an Artist.But education didn't teach me any Art . It taught me about art and the education of art. But not how to actually be an artist. So now if I want to actually become an artist im going to have to teach myself. So the years of studies and qualifications were totally worthless for me.
If I had actually spent those years with a stone and a hammer and chisel
By now I could actually be or probably be a master with my materials.
And be able to actually call myself an Artist.

The voice, the man, the truth...
•
Just imagine the difficulty putting this together in his head to put it out so simply for almost everyone to understand...
•
A true friend of many...

This should be shown and heard everywhere! Mr. Watt is a legend.

Alan Watts died in 1973. If we learnt Alan Watts in school instead of learning to be an idiot, the world would be a better place today.
