Alan Watts on life, the universe, and everything.

Today for some reason I thought of Alan Watts, and suddenly remembered for the first time in years that he had as big an influence as he did on my thinking as a teen. In fact, I think the same was true for my pal Nick. Here Alan Watts talks about things like how you actually ARE the Big Bang, and how silly it is to worry about death, because it probably won’t be much different than what you experienced before you were born….

About Ian

Ian is a media consultant, writer, musician, and budding public speaker with an eye on being the next Ellen. Ian's interest in helping others find success and happiness stems from his experience with events planning and media consulting with organizations like Interfluence.com and the Kenya/US NGO Amara Conservation from 2000-2008, which taught him how little we all know about what we're really doing. From 2008 until April of 2011, Ian wrote for and maintained the site DissociatedPress.com. Ian learned long ago that the journey to success may take occasional detours, and often eschews the road map in favor of taking in life's scenery. His first business venture was a small telecom company in the late 1980's, but subsequent ventures included pursuing a pop music career, screenwriting, and the foodservice and retail employment that often follows such pursuits. After struggling with addiction for years, Ian is happily embracing recovery and the clarity it brings.

How can we not recommend our OWN book? A lighthearted but heartfelt, entertaining riff on getting off your duff. The short punchy chapters are perfect for in-flight or coffee break reading. Learn more at KickYourAss101.com, or pick it up on Amazon.

Nick says: If you want advice on how to stick to something and become, very, very good at it, read Mastery by George Leonard. And be prepared for some serious hard work!

Ian says: If a book with the word "soul" in the title makes you uneasy, maybe you ain't got none. Care of the Soul is a practical and inspiring book that reminds us that we don't have to be "religious" to lead a soulful life.

  A stint in foodservice beats any internship, anywhere, by combining thinking on your feet, hard work, service, and humility. And a little ballet training.

  On the idea behind the Daily Fix, and a little about discipline and adaptation. And how Ian is a windbag.

- Weight Watchers Works
  Depriving yourself is fine, but besides the fact that your metabolism will reset itself to accommodate fewer calories each day, you are likely to run out of willpower before bedtime. Too much day left at the end of the diet!
