Welcome to Way of Thinking! In this video, philosopher and writer Alan Watts explores the concept of self and the dangers of false self-image.

We start by unpacking the illusion of self, and how it can be a trap that leads us to chase after external validations and lose touch with our true selves. Alan Watts challenges us to go beyond our ego and discover the essence of our being.

We also explore the ideas of how we see ourselves, and how people see ourselves. By that making both observations really inaccurate.

Who is Alan Watts?
Alan Watts (1915-1973) was a prominent British philosopher, writer, and speaker celebrated for his significant contribution to bringing Eastern philosophy and spiritual ideas to the Western world. Originating from England, he cultivated a profound interest in Buddhism and Taoism during his early years. In the early 1930s, Watts moved to the United States, where he played an incredibly important role in shaping the counterculture movement of the 1960s.
