Alan Watts spoke about “the voice inside your head” constantly — especially in talks like Out of Your Mind and The Nature of Consciousness. He saw it as one of the biggest obstacles to living fully in the present moment, but also as something deeply misunderstood.

Alan Watts often spoke about overthinking as one of the greatest barriers to peace, creativity, and spiritual awakening. He believed the modern mind is too noisy, constantly analyzing, labeling, and trying to control reality instead of flowing with it. In his words, we’ve become “so absorbed in the chatter of the mind that we mistake it for who we are.”

Alan Watts’ teaching on being no one (sometimes phrased as “being nobody” or “the art of being nothing”) is one of his most subtle and liberating insights. It blends Eastern philosophy—particularly Zen Buddhism, Taoism, and Hindu Advaita—with Western psychological awareness.

Jordan Peterson’s philosophy blends psychology, personal responsibility, and meaning-making. At its core, he emphasizes that life is full of suffering and chaos, but individuals can confront this by taking responsibility, telling the truth, and ordering their lives.

Jordan Peterson’s philosophy blends psychology, personal responsibility, and meaning-making. At its core, he emphasizes that life is full of suffering and chaos, but individuals can confront this by taking responsibility, telling the truth, and ordering their lives. Key ideas include: Personal Responsibility: He argues that people should first “set their own house in order” before trying to change the world—focusing on self-discipline, integrity, and growth. Order vs. Chaos: Drawing from Jungian psychology and myth, he frames life as a balance between order (stability, tradition) and chaos (uncertainty, potential). Growth comes from facing chaos responsibly. Meaning Over Happiness: Peterson teaches that meaning—not fleeting happiness—is what sustains people. Meaning arises when responsibility is accepted, especially in service of others. Truth and Speech: He strongly defends the importance of speaking truthfully and precisely, both to clarify one’s own thinking and to bring order to society. Archetypes and Myth: Influenced by Carl Jung, he sees religious stories and myths as psychological roadmaps that encode wisdom about human struggle, morality, and transformation. In short: Peterson’s philosophy encourages individuals to confront suffering directly, embrace responsibility, and create order and meaning in their lives as a foundation for both personal well-being and societal stability.   RaggetySam Creations Spotify AlbumsMantras to Quiet the Soul (This is a link to one of my albums on spotify A Place Called Peace)https://open.spotify.com/album/7bMZqxq0TTw53NzK4akLrv?si=YpgZNBrfRmWDMq8T-RmYtA (This is a link to one of my albums on spotify Just Breathe) See my coloring books!
