In this five minute video, Alan Watts, a British born philosopher, talks about what’s wrong with our culture and how to turn it around. Watts is often credited with introducing Eastern philosophy to the western audiences of Europe and North America.
Before his passing on November 16th, 1973, he had accrued a rather large following in the San Francisco Bay area. He authored more than 25 books on eastern and western religion, youth culture, and Buddhism.
Watts was born into a middle class family in Chislehurst, Kent, in 1915. His mother was a housewife and his father a missionary. He was a talkative, imaginative, and headstrong young man, which is something he maintained for the whole of his life.
We hope you enjoy this video.
