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.

I was 28 when I read "The Book" by Alan Watts, it completely changed my way of life. I'm 81 now and very happy.

“We are living in a culture entirely hypnotized by the illusion of time, in which the so-called present moment is felt as nothing but an infinitesimal hairline between an all-powerfully causative past and an absorbingly important future. We have no present. Our consciousness is almost completely preoccupied with memory and expectation. We do not realize that there never was, is, nor will be any other experience than present experience. We are therefore out of touch with reality. We confuse the world as talked about, described, and measured with the world which actually is. We are sick with a fascination for the useful tools of names and numbers, of symbols, signs, conceptions and ideas.” ― Alan Watts

I’m 70 and so glad to be because I finally live in the present more than ever before. I learned all my projections and plans rarely happened as I foresaw.

I started listening to Alan Watts 5 years ago and have been listening to his lectures weekly. Today I have less problems and feel that life is easier, and I flow more naturally through the world. I feel this awesome power within me, and wherever I go, people sense that power. When I wake in the morning, I’m not afraid to die that evening. I understand it all and it is good. My way of life is simple: I work, I eat, I rest. I am at peace and it is good.

The Tao flows both to the left and the right. It clothes and nourishes all things but does not lord it over them. When merits are accomplished it lays no claim to them. ~Lao Tzu

Every time I listen to this man.. he somehow slows my brain down an hooks me in on every word he says.

[tomalley]

A friend once said.
You can’t get so hung up on where you’d rather be.
That you forget to make the most of where you are,
We get lost along the way.
For some, find there way and make a life. A beautiful life.

I’m in love with everything Alan Watts says. Brilliant yet seems so obvious once he opens your eyes. Thank you Alan, thank you

[NWard]

I love these videos - every time I feel like I've become lost, in whatever way that might be, Alan helps remind me of the important things. Thank you for these uploads!

[TheBigBigSean]

Incredible. Im in my 40s and am just now discovering Watts. His perspective is profound. I only wish I had discovered him sooner.

This is the best explanation of living in the PRESENT that I have yet heard. 😊

[berthacheese]

Alan Watts voice is in my life daily, his voice is comforting. Like family. The present is always present

[SammyVideoPlex]

I'm learning so much by listening to these videos. I only been a subscriber for a short time but Mr. Alan West is a remarkable man.

[orionstar]

This is incredibly true and real, I was telling a friend today the exact thing, I told her " take one day at the time" and essentially is what this gentleman is saying, we worry about tomorrow, and we neglect to enjoy and take in all the beautiful things that are passing us by each day, like the love for someone, and generally take in the beauty of life. What an eye opener this is.

[dees]

The comments are often as insightful and meaningful as Alan’s talks 🙏

[hakimrenane]

At least every second day I listen to Alan Watts, he is just an amazing Human being ❤️ I cant say fully, how he change my " life " or the way off living, but for sure he has done something that gives me more meaning to a meaningless life ....thank you ✌️💯🙏❤️
