“His [Alan Watts] philosophy opened my mind”
Alan Watts was the first inspiring personal growth teacher I came across years ago. Without even knowing it at the time, listening to his videos led me to falling in love with coaching and positive psychology. It was wonderful to learn how the same world and life could be seen from such a different and most importantly positive perspective. His philosophy opened my mind and helped me realise that reality is subjective. What we believe something to be is not always the case or at least it does not have to be. We have the power to change the world, our negative feelings and inherited beliefs by changing our thoughts and looking at a situation from a new perspective. And even if I, during hard times sometimes lose sight of the new perspective, one truth A. Watts thought me always stays with me - question everything, there is more to this world than it seems.
