This guy gets a lot of elitist criticism for being too broad and too much of a hippy. And a lot of shit from the 'Muh original sources and texts' bitches.
However in terms of putting large needlessly convulute concepts into simple accessible terms he is excellent. This is actually a rare skill and makes him a great teacher.
Honestly I found the way of Zen to be a bit arduous. I like his YouTube lectures though.

Not his best book but yes I agree his lectures are where he shines. A very natural speaker.
I thought the picture you posted was Knausgaard by the look of the thumbnail. They do look kind of similar.
I've never read/listened to Watts or de Botton (apparently they're similar), but I'll keep this recommendation in mind.

I like to listen to Alan Watts a fair amount, shame he pushes Buddhisms

I really don't get much of what he says. It seems like it is valuable, but I just often fail to get his point.
