(T&H - Inspiration & Motivation) This is an inspirational and profound speech from the late British Buddhist philosopher Alan Watts, a self-described "spiritual entertainer." The original audio was sourced from: “Alan Watts: 'Eco Zen' from Philosophies of Asia” produced and edited by T&H Inspiration. It is a documentary film on the life and works of Alan Watts, a two DVD set: alanwatts.org/news.php.

The great philosopher Alan Watts
Each film comes with The Essential Alan Watts, a bonus disc of video materials that did not fit into the film, and "The Animated Alan Watts." The 23-minute DVD includes extracts from the 1972 series "The Fine Art of Goofing Off" as well as a couple of animations produced by South Park creators and animators. The reel has been met with joyous laughter and standing ovations at film showings and is not to be missed.

Why Not Now follows the life of one of the most inspiring philosophers of our time, Alan Watts, as told though none other than Alan Watts himself from the wealth of material and lectures that were left behind after his passing.
Why Not Now was created by his son Mark Watts, who has given T&H (Tragedy and Hope) exclusive rights to create the trailer for the documentary.
