Having most vividly introduced the complexities of Eastern wisdom to the contemporary ideas of the West, British philosopher Alan Watts is now considered a philosophic legend.

He was an author, a poet, a radical thinker, an ex-priest, a mystic, a teacher, and a critic of society. He understood the concept of stepping back from all of the drama we create in life and understood the cosmic humor of it all. Alan Watts was devoted to play. For this, he (as well as many others) labeled himself as a spiritual/philosophical entertainer.
