Stop Trying to Fix Yourself | Alan Watts

#alanwatts #philosophy #selfawareness Are you constantly trying to improve yourself, fix your flaws, or become someone “better”? In this deeply thought-provoking talk, Alan Watts challenges the very idea that there is something fundamentally wrong with you that needs fixing. He reveals how the endless pursuit of self-improvement often becomes a subtle form of self-rejection—and why this struggle keeps us trapped rather than free. This lecture explores a radical insight: the self you’re trying to fix is not a solid thing at all. What you call “me” is a fluid process, a temporary role life is playing through you. Watts invites us to step back from the compulsive urge to control, correct, and perfect ourselves, and instead recognize the deeper intelligence already moving our lives. You’ll discover why real change doesn’t come from force, discipline, or self-judgment, but from understanding. Learn how letting go of the ego’s constant interference allows life to unfold naturally, and why acceptance is not resignation—but the doorway to genuine transformation. Life, as Watts explains, is not a mechanical problem to be repaired, but a living process to be experienced. This talk is an invitation to stop fighting yourself, stop treating life as a project, and start seeing the profound truth: you are not broken, and you were never meant to be fixed.
