Last week turned out to be quite a successful week for me.
Mainly because of finally having published my first book (which still amazes me every time I look at my bookshelf and see a book with my name on it).
So that means it’s more than okay to take some time off and relax for a while.
Now, one of the issues that often arises when you’re relaxing is that you might ask yourself “am I doing something useful right now?”
And in that case, you’re falling into a major trap so many people in our current society fall into in every single day.
But don’t take it from me, take it from the late, great Alan Watts himself:
This is one of my favorite and most-watched/listened to fragments of Alan Watts that’s freely available out there on YouTube.
It’s about the unusual, society-made, and self-destructing divide between work and play.
The whole thing is less than 13 minutes long so you can watch/listen to it during your commute, while doing the dishes, or even during the time you’d otherwise be wasting scrolling through social media on your afternoon toilet break.
