SkyLight Lives - Zen Effects

Through his widely popular books and lectures, Alan Watts (1915-1973), one of the most charismatic spiritual innovators of the twentieth century, did more to introduce Eastern philosophy and religion to Western minds than any figure before or since. Watts was a renegade Zen teacher, an Anglican priest, a lecturer, an academic, an entertainer and a leader of the San Francisco renaissance. Monica Furlong provides an in-depth analysis of the intellectual, cultural and deeply personal influences behind this truly extraordinary life.
