Alan Watts - The Lost Tape 1 of 4
Alan Watts (born January 6, 1915, in Chislehurst, Kent, England, and passed away on November 16, 1973, in Marin County, California, USA) was a British-born American writer, philosopher, and lecturer. His significant contributions include introducing and popularizing Eastern philosophy and religion among Western audiences during the mid-20th century.
Early Years (1915-1938): Alan Watts was fascinated by Asian art, literature, and philosophy from a young age. His parents encouraged his bright and inquiring nature, and he became the editor for the Buddhist Lodge’s journal, The Middle Way. In 1938, he moved to the United States to study Zen in New York, where he began lecturing in bookstores and cafes.
Middle Years (1939-1959): Watts published “The Meaning of Happiness” in 1940, based on his talks. He studied mystical theology at Seabury-Western Theological Seminary in Chicago. Ordained as an Episcopal priest in 1944, he eventually left the Church and settled in upstate New York, where he wrote “The Wisdom of Insecurity: A Message for an Age of Anxiety.” In 1951, he relocated to San Francisco and began teaching Buddhism at the American Academy of Asian Studies.
Later Years (1960s-1973): Watts gained popularity through his radio show, “Way Beyond the West,” which aired nationally. The counterculture movement embraced him as a spiritual spokesperson. His eloquent writing and interpretation of Eastern wisdom bridged cultural gaps and resonated with audiences worldwide.

If you haven't listened to Jiddu Krishnamurti I recommend him as well. Watts draws some inspiration from Mr. Krishnamurti
