Thinking Sideways: Intelligently And with Love
Tony Watkins graduated from Stuyvesant High School in New York City, earning his Masters from The Pacific School of Oriental Medicine with a specialty in acupuncture. He has published a book of Haiku, which can be found at Amazon under his name.
Mr. Watkins is the quintessential copacetic funny, light-hearted, healing intellect and friend.
I caught up with this trend-setting, world-trotting, bilingual, former expatriate ESL teacher, original thinker and offbeat-fashion-sense maven in New York City where he hails from—via Skype—from Tokyo.
Listen, laugh, learn and brighten your day as Tony expounds on the psychology of good and bad impulses and how we may channel them, the “unexplored Trump,” the fate of the Democratic candidates, his former lives in China, Mongolia and Korea, his English teaching, relationship advice, lessons for language acquisition, his wonderful pet lizard, Jerry and much more. He also reads from his book of Haiku and recites another beautiful poem.
Tony is a friend of mine and a wise, insightful, witty and multi-eye-wear-sporting ingenious friend of yours, too (you just don’t know it yet)! So you have to get to know him (and to know Tony is to love Tony—because he loves you, too). He also has some special recommendations in the areas of healing, good books and good music. So listen “good!”
