Alan Watts is awesome, I highly recommend "Out of your mind" lectures.
I find his books a bit wordy and boring but his "Out of Your Mind" lectures are amazing.
Though "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind" by Shunryu Suzuki is a much better introduction to the topic – Watts had a scholarly approach to it and lacked the actual practice.
