Bio:


Alan Wilson Watts was a British writer and speaker known for interpreting and popularizing Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism for a Western audience.


Alan Watts was among the first to interpret Eastern ideologies for a Western audience. Born outside of London in 1915, he discovered a nearby Buddhist lodge in his youth. Upon moving to the United States in 1938, Alan became an Episcopal priest, and then relocated to Millbrook, New York, where he wrote his pivotal book The Wisdom of Insecurity: A Message for an Age of Anxiety. He moved to San Francisco in 1951 where he began teaching Buddhist studies, and in 1956 began his popular radio show “Way Beyond the West.” By the early sixties, Alan’s radio talks aired nationally and the counterculture movement adopted him as a spiritual spokesperson. He wrote and traveled regularly until his passing in 1973
