Philosopher, writer, poet, radical thinker, teacher and critic of mainstream society, Watts one of the first to interpret Eastern wisdom for a Western audience and had a rare gift for simplifying complex philosophical subjects to make them accessible.

'Why Not Now' follows the Watts’ remarkable life and weaves a fascinating story through the wealth of material and lectures that were left behind after his passing.

In addition to his 28 books, Alan Watts delivered hundreds of public lectures and seminars during his life. A self-proclaimed “spiritual entertainer”, he saw himself as a bridge between the ancient and the modern, East and West, and culture and nature.

Born near London in 1915, he discovered the nearby Buddhist Lodge at a young age. After moving to the United States in 1938, he became an Episcopal priest for a time, and then relocated to New York, where he wrote his pivotal book The Wisdom of Insecurity: A Message for an Age of Anxiety.

In 1951 he moved to San Francisco 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.

Nearly fifty years after his passing, his lectures gain millions of views on youtube and the popularity of his books and quotes continues to grow.
