The Art of Making Decisions - Alan Watts

I really don’t anymore the world seems less and less important everyday. And that makes the things I worry about I’m told don’t matter which makes me care even less every day. There’s no real meaningful choices left to make. just really boring ones that don’t seem to matter that much to my interests

I sold this book. This was given to me before..

Wonderful video! Very very well made.
Is the voice part of a full lecture or something ?

This is lit

Fix the audio quality

get in the cockpit my goodman.

“No amount of anxiety makes any difference to anything that's going to happen” - Alan Watts ~ Angst ~ out 11/21. (Perfect example)

Amen 🙏🏽

I really love this content. I do not have the funds to support you on patreon. I will watch the adverts it’s impossible for me to be sold a product but the game of me watching gets you paid. I drink a lot of tea so i leave my phone next to my plants. They appreciate the vibrations from the speaker. Anyway thank you so much.

Love the artwork on this channel 😊

The OG of inspirational speeches

So….what is the strategy for making decisions here? He described the anxiety but offered no solution

Great art

It is good to have a voice for his words. Ty so much

Allan Watts was soooo enlightened. Our society is so ffffed up because our kids are getting so addicted since early age that it's becoming increasingly impossible for them and even us to achieve such level of enlightenment and wisdom. We are living in a matrix in which driving an old car in order to have extra time for personal growth is BAD because you need to succumb to social pressure and drive a new car, have the latest phone and wear expensive clothes.
Vanity, vanity and more vanity.

there's a videogame all about him, is called Everything, filled with his quotes in the shape of audio, it's an amazing journey

I love this lecture...thank you ❤

the calming effect of alan watts

Most of my decisions start with the words......"fuk it.......

To the owner of this channel, some very good speakers to have on here are Rupert Spira, Mooji, Zach Bush, Krishnamurti and Gabor Mate! 🙏❤️

This should have been a high school subject 🚸

Making the right decision at the right time

This artist is GENIUS

I can't understand how Alan Watts's voice is exactly the same at Ram Das's voice!!!

Blue pill or red pill your gonna have issues to deal with. Being pessimistic saves you from the let downs in life.

My experience says that any decisions that made with my rational mind, towards an expectation or an desire to achieve something, the most the times creates frustration in our lives.
We are here flow and to let go in to the Universal will and wisdom.

Wow to the illustrator ✊🏻

Best thing that I’ve done is telling myself it’s ok to worry. Don’t force anything - including forcing yourself not to worry.
Let it happen. Let it play out. Take as long as you like to make the decision. Follow those natural internal and external pushes.
It’s surprising how, eventually, you end up just choosing not to worry anyway. When it’s a completely valid option, and you don’t stop yourself, you end up not wanting to do it anyway.

Thank you for this wonderful video. Gratitude and Appreciation to you . 🌃✨✨✨🤍💜💚🙏🏾

Wish I never heard of this drunken derelict. Stands for nothing. Just drinks and uses women. Worthless.

If you find you can't stop worrying about a thing, I have learned a valuable technique that will allow you to lay the subject to rest. If your mind wants to worry, let it! Go ahead and worry it -- to death! What this means is.. think about the worst possible outcome in your situation. And then ask "ok so what's the worst possible outcome that could result from this?" And, again: "Ok then the worst thing that could result from this new hypothetical outcome?"

Eventually, you will reach a place where you have died and so has everyone you know and the foolishness of allowing anxiety to rule over your thoughts becomes apparent. At this point, you can finally shrug off your worries

Pick better friends know thet intent it is
Usually not good.

❤❤❤❤❤

Worry about something, especially the possibility of an outcome that has yet to happen does absolutely no good.

Thought of this quote today: “A genius is nothing more than a catalyst.” They speed up natural progression in their presence.

'My Boy's Wicked Smart'

I'm really going to have to think this over.

💯💯💯

Watts would just love these animations I hope his son has seen your videos.

The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD. Proverbs 16:33, NKJV
DRILL DEEPER INTO THAT PROVERB AND WHAT YOU FIND IS THIS: GOD is giving you the choices of your heart, whether they be good or bad. But you say, "Why would God give me something bad?" To be free to make your own choices, requires both good and evil. SOAP BOX TIME: Besides, who alive hasn't regretted a decision they've made? didn't you learn by it? So we find it is to 'discover ourselves' that we are alive. As I've said, 'God created all of us, because He knew how good it would be for all of us, to get to know Him.
But for the wicked, the worst thing that will happen to them begins when they enter God's presence, to be judged. Let's put it this way; offending an infinite God merits infinite punishment. Some ask, 'why would a good God send anyone to a Devil's Hell?' Why not ask, why would anyone reject the forgiveness The infinitely Holy God offers thru the blood of His Only Begotten Son?
BUT LET'S STOP THERE AND TIE THIS TOGETHER: God would have us discover ourselves. To that end, we have been cast into the Test called Life. The wicked will find their ways are gravest error; infinitely grave error that eternity will not supply enough time to stop regretting.
Those who are made righteous by the Blood of the Lamb, see Revelation 12:11, Holy Bible, will continually be happier and happier that they lived 'right.'
SO WE SEE THAT LIFE IS TO SEPARATE THE CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL FROM THE CHILDREN OF GOD.

lol this guy drank himself to death...lol... so fullof crap... dont take his advice

So, the message is "Don't put much thought into your decisions, because randomness and variability cannot be accounted for, and your rational thought means nothing?" Horseshit. That is a horrible message. I have seen way too many people's lives destroyed by making one bad decision after another, with little thought. They compound, in a negative manner, just like good decisions compound, in a positive manner. I agree with "paralysis by analysis" being something to avoid, as I have also seen this prevent otherwise smart people from pulling the trigger on many important, life-changing decisions, like whether to get married, buy a house, buy land, etc. There is very definitely a happy medium to doing your homework, researching the data, and then making a smart decision. Intelligent people already know this.

A great video, but that quote at the end sums it up quite well.

Alan Watts, the father of modern philosophy <3 only philosopher who takes every other philosophy into his own and makes sense of everyones into one greater
