Before mindfulness apps. Before lo-fi beats to study to. Before every self-help book told you to “let go”… There was Alan Watts. This book isn’t a lecture. It’s a vibe. Everything Is Fine, Actually is a chilled-out journey through the life and mind of a man who didn’t care about enlightenment points — just clarity, laughter, and presence. From his British roots to his West Coast evolution, Watts preached the art of not trying, the illusion of the ego, and the sacred joke of existence.

Voltaire n’a pas été l’homme d’un système. Il a été le trouble-fête d’un siècle brillant et faux. Ce qu’il reste de lui n’est pas un modèle à imiter, mais une tension à reprendre : penser sans plaire, contredire sans cesse, et surtout ne jamais devenir ce que l’on dénonce.

He didn’t rule an empire. He didn’t fight a war. He just had an idea — that the world could be better if everyone just played their part.
