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.

I want to share a bunch of video/audio recordings of Alan Watts. Here are the links:
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.
I was introduced to meditation in a college class on the subject. The teacher recommended The Miracle of Mindfulness: An Introduction to the Practice of Meditation, by Thich Nhat Hanh. This book provides the reader with a wonderful way to start a meditation practice.
