Alan Watts – Learning the Human Game

“You can’t catch a wave in a bucket and walk off with it,” teaches Alan Watts, “and so, you cannot understand life and its mysteries as long as you persist in trying to.” Enjoy this mind-expanding exploration of what it means to play the human game, and of course, how to play.

 

Alan Wilson Watts was a British philosopher, writer, and speaker, best known as an interpreter and populariser of Eastern philosophy for a Western audience. Born in England in 1915, Alan was an Episcopalian priest who became the spokesperson for Eastern religions during the late 1950s and tumultuous 60s. His first book, The Spirit of Zen, however, was written in the 30s when Watts was just 20 years old. He went on to write more than twenty other books. He died in 1973.
