Watts gained a following while working as a volunteer programmer at the
KPFA radio station in
Berkeley, California. He wrote more than 25 books and articles on religion and philosophy, introducing the
Beat Generation and the emerging
counterculture to
The Way of Zen (1957), one of the first best selling books on Buddhism. In
Psychotherapy East and West (1961), he argued that
psychotherapy could become the West's way of liberation if it discarded
dualism, as the Eastern ways do. He considered
Nature, Man and Woman (1958) to be, "from a literary point of view—the best book I have ever written".<a href="

psychedelics in works such as "The New Alchemy" (1958) and
The Joyous Cosmology (1962).
His lectures found posthumous popularity through regular broadcasts on public radio, especially in California and New York, and more recently on the internet, on sites and apps such as
YouTube<a href="
