On a serious note, Watts'philosophy is hugely inspirational & wholesome, but he himself suffered from being a flakey father/husband and a lifelong alcoholic.

I listen to his talks regularly, especially when I need a dose of self-forgiveness, but anyone who sees him as a guru should know he certainly had his demons and quotes like the one above ought to be taken with a grain of salt.
