Alan Watt's Wisdom of Insecurity book was enlightening for me. You can read it for free here:

Also from Alan Watts, 'The Book'. At the same time an introduction, summary, and companion to his various lectures. The book he would give to his children as an introduction to the world and life (according to the preface).

If you like Alan Watts you might enjoy Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind: Informal Talks on Zen Meditation and Practice from Shunryu Suzuki.

If you like that, I'd further recommend the biography of Suzuki, Crooked Cucumber. It's an interesting read.


And if you like that, I'd recommend "Not Always So: Practicing the True Spirit of Zen" which feels like a continuation of "Zen Mind, Beginners Mind"


Thank you very much :) I'll definitely check it out.


I second Alan Watt's.

Watch some of his youtube videos as well - they gave me strength to endure through some tough times.
