An informative synthesis of western and eastern theology, Behold the Spirit: A Study in the Necessity of Mystical Religion by Alan Watts provides an insight into the fundamental forces which have been shaping Christian religion for the past two thousand years. The book suggests various practices, taken from eastern traditions, which Christianity should adopt in order to satisfy the spiritual psyche of the modern man.

The Way of Zen, by Alan Watts, introduces the western mind to the ideas of Zen. The book does a great job, almost as good as any Zen master. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Zen and its history.

My favorite book by Alan Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity, will change the way you view yourself and the world. Its views and concepts, made clear through the elegant prose of Watts, shake the foundation of traditional western thought.

The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are, by Alan Watts, was the first book that I read by Watts. The insight into Vedanta and eastern philosophy given by this book will impress you and possibly alter your entire outlook on life.  This book provides a great starting point for the rest of Watts’ works.
