When You Only Pursue Pleasure, You End Up Pursuing Pain | Alan Watts

The goal of After Skool has always been to take the most empowering ideas and enhance them with art. Creating videos like this is my purpose on earth. When you find your purpose, nothing will stop you, because...the purpose is bigger than you.

I don't care if I get paid to make these videos. The satisfaction of creating something like this exceeds any amount of fame or fortune. I hope you enjoy this and share it around. And I wish you all the best in finding your purpose.

Alan Wilson Watts (6 January 1915 – 16 November 1973) was a British-American philosopher who interpreted and popularized Eastern philosophy for a Western audience. Watts proposed that Buddhism could be thought of as a form of psychotherapy and not a religion. His thought-provoking lectures aim to answer life's greatest mysteries and are more relevant today than ever before.
