Alan Watts

A.J. reads or listens to Out of Your Mind at least once a year. Watts’ witty philosophy is always the best reminder to stay at play in this great game of life. 

Osho is another master A.J. recommends if you’re looking for gurus who don’t take life too seriously. A.J.’s personal favorite Osho discourse is I Am the Gate.

Carl Jung

A.J. believes we can only go as high as we are willing to go deep, and no one quite understands the mysteries of our depths as Carl Gustav Jung. A.J. recommends beginning with Jung’s book Man and His Symbols. 

For a more mythic approach to depth, A.J. is in awe of the work of Joseph Campbell, especially The Hero with a Thousand Faces.

Byron Katie

Whenever A.J. needs to question a negative narrative or story, he picks up Byron Katie’s book or audiobook Loving What Is. Katie’s mind is as open as her heart. 

A.J. is also inspired by the way Tony Robbins works with people to question their beliefs and find new meaning from tragedy in order to take action and make a bigger, more positive impact on the world.

Ram Dass

Since A.J. discovered Ram Dass’ seminal classic Be Here Now, he has valued staying present, or being in the moment, above all else. 

A.J. also recommends The Power of Now by Eckart Tolle for anyone else that can’t get enough of the now.
