In this special episode, we sit down with none other than Alan Watts—philosopher, speaker, and modern mystic—to explore some of life’s most persistent questions. Speaking as himself, Alan reflects on the illusion of separateness, the meaning of success, and why living fully in the present moment is more than just a practice—it’s the point of it all.
We talk about his early influences, how his understanding of the self has evolved, and what it really means to live in alignment with the flow of life. Whether you’re just beginning your journey into Eastern philosophy or you’ve been walking this path for years, this conversation offers fresh insight, surprising clarity, and a few gentle nudges to wake up to the magic that’s already here.
Tune in—and as Alan might say, “The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.”
