/lit/ - Literature

ITT - Post the philosopher you admire and/or look up to.

I'm a big fan of Alan Watts. I want to introduce his perspective to a physicist phd who is a little miserable and needs a new perspective. I know Watts could help him, but I don't know which of Alan's books would be best suited to a hardcore scientist.
Suggestions anyone?
No point asking /sci/, they won't have heard of him. No point asking /x/, they've no idea how to talk to scientists.

Can /lit/ help? Which book should I buy?

Also, gotta post it, the dude was a god. Masters degree in theology, doctorate in divinity, generally an all-round awesome person, and i want to help my friend.

Thanks /lit/.

Hi /lit/. First time poster. I checked the wiki and couldn't seem to find anything.

Can you recommend which Alan Watts book to buy for my girlfriend? She's not necessarily interested in Buddhism itself, but she is interested in mindfulness, spirituality, happiness and yoga.

The Way Of Zen seems to be one of the definitive Watts books. Would you recommend something different? Thanks in advance.

Is there any free copy of Alan Watts audiobook "You're it"? Can't find it anywhere.
And recommend me some inspiration/life lesson/motivation/philosohpy books or audiobooks.
Anyways, what do you think about Alan watts, his lectures?

This. I meditate when I feel like my emotions are impairing my judgement.
