Live Fully Now: Mark Watts

Mark Watts, son of legendary philosopher Alan Watts, discusses the importance of finding a balance between work and leisure.

[@kimberlyohanlon7651]

I have a deep sense of respect and gratitude for Mark Watts and the wonderful work he has performed in recording, preserving and sharing his father's magnificent teachings with the entire world. Thank you Mark!

[@deividzeitgeist]

totally!

[@BANKO007]

What a beautiful accent Alan Watts had. Great to see that Mark is the repository of Alan's wisdom too. Very charming man.

[@blazingamr]

Greetings to Mr. Mark and his great work preserving the great legacy of his father ❤️❤️🙏🙏

[@stephenfriesen7636]

Long live Alan Watts. Thank you Volvo, and thank you especially Mark Watts for helping get your dad's messages to us.

[@Leocadizo]

I still listen every single week any of Alan watts lectures. Thanks Mark watts

[@mizayuki]

Now this, is why I love Volvo. It's not just a car. Thank you guys. Please keep it coming.

[@VolvoCars]

Hi, we are very glad to hear your feedback, Mizayuki. Thanks for sharing it with us!

dont love cars

[@JonathanLaliberte1]

Well done Volvo. Much respect for making a commercial with Alan Watts. A voice much needed in todays world.

[@TurboBoomProduction]

So, I must know. Who is the brain at Volvo that started this Alan Watts saga?! Being a long time fan of him myself I am so happy to see the messages being used again for a new audience. Bravo

[@VolvoCars]

Hi, we're happy to hear this. We used Alan Watts speech "Live Fully Now" because it's about our constant struggle to reach new goals in life, thereby never appreciating the present. This is a message that very much relate to many people of 2017.

[@Acein3055]

I have always loved listening to Alan Watts. What is hard for me to understand is why great men such as Alan Watts and Frank Zappa didn't take care of their day to day physical health which caused their early death.

[@alextarasik9189]

Это потрясающе! Такие прекрасные виды! Такая съемка! Такая музыка! Такая атмосфера! У меня есть плейлист "для души". Я добавляю в него видео, которые меня трогают. Это видео как раз туда попало. Спасибо!

[@maurodemarcochemello1930]

In Fact , when I watched this movie first time , I got very excited, the message is so deep and real , I believe absolutely in everything about it, and I 've looked live my life in this same way , even though not always to be possible ,but I will try ! Live fully now is my way ,volvo is my job, I love both !! Mauro ,Brazil

[@ambergris5705]

The organ in the music had a beautiful Interstellar vibe to it... I just love it.

[@curious5691]

Some, or one complained about the commercial aspect of this video. Can you direct me to the non commercial video showing Mark at his fest with the tape deck which captured many of the recordings we love. Show me the way to Alan’s old library, he wrote on, died in, and the grounds wherein this is? I didn’t realize it was made out of an old water tower, lovely thought, water works, and all that flowed from this place, this man. Even if you find all of these things, I’ll come back, and back again to this one. If the music bothers you, hint, hint, turn off the volume, but certainly don’t miss the imagery, masterfully done.

I'm not going to consider myself successful until i own a Volvo. You are the most inspirational car company, along with Tesla, keep being great Volvo. Much love!

[@doreekaplan2589]

My 1st car in 1968 was an old humpback Volvo. Stick was 3 feet long. Gas was 35 cents

[@stephencosco]

I love how you didn't even include a car in this film - the mentality of the car is described perfectly by the cinematography and dialogue. This is exactly why I love photography and filmmaking and volvo cars.

[@skandiaart]

Volvo is life, Volvo is love.

Aww he has his laugh.

[@switchfoot412]

I thought the same thing

[@DeusEx3]

As much as I hate the fact that a company used this man's voice to sell stuff, I nevertheless enjoyed hearing Mark talk about his father...

[@willissudweeks1050]

I'm almost gonna give it a pass. The main point of the thing was Alan.

[@sluxi]

I think it was done very tastefully, you only get the Volvo logo at the end and nothing about the contents is blatantly trying to sell you one.

[@StephJ0seph]

Thank God for Mark Watts If it wasn't for him, we probably wouldn't have been able to be exposed to many of Alan Watt's wisdom

[@doreekaplan2589]

An unwise man to choose to drink himself to death. Not my hero

[@DiegoRiedemann]

Long live Alan and Mark Watts!

[@jarredmay7496]

This is amazing

[@FlippedSociety]

Beautiful piece Volvo! The adventures and videos I create on my channel wouldn't be possible without my beloved XC70 - live fully now! I went to the Toronto Auto Show JUST to sit in the new V90 Cross Country. Can't wait to someday be behind the wheel. Thank you.

[@VolvoCars]

Hi, we're honoured to hear your feedback regarding our V90 Cross Country. Thank you for sharing and keep enjoying your own Get Away XC70!

Please in all due Love and respect, forget about Volvo and cars.... focus on the deeply helpful nature of Alan Watts and the significant role he played in Humanity. It's time to wake up! Thank you also Mark Watts, very grateful and kind regards.

J'ai adoré BMW ces dernières années, Mais en vieillissant, je me suis senti orphelin, ne me retrouvant plus dans la nouvelle arrogance de la marque. peu à peu, je me sens de plus en plus proche de Volvo. ce retour à un équilibre intérieur me correspond bien.

What’s that japanese word?

[@NoQuarter91]

Aware (哀れ) which is an expression of measured surprise (similar to "ah" or "oh"), translating roughly as "pathos", "poignancy", "deep feeling", "sensitivity", or "awareness".

[@CRH.Williams]

Not so much appreciation from me towards Mark Watts, Alan Watts' son, who looked after his father's works and digitalized it only to monetize and capitalizes on it at infinitum, so that all can pay him for his fathers wisdom. Only to get sued if they freely share it after buying it from him.

[@dimitrijep7872]

yeah...except that Alan Watts died in depression thinking how his life did not make any sense...dead end of eastern religions.

[@irisrelay8564]

Did you use wiki for that?

[@willissudweeks1050]

A main point of Alan Watt's talks is that life doesn't need to make sense. Try again.
