About this listen

In order to come to your senses, Alan Watts often said, you sometimes need to go out of your mind. Perhaps more than any other teacher in the West, this celebrated author, former Anglican priest, and self-described spiritual entertainer was responsible for igniting the passion of countless wisdom seekers to the spiritual and philosophical delights of Asia and India.

Now, with Out of Your Mind: Essential Listening from the Alan Watts Audio Archives, you are invited to immerse yourself in 12 of this legendary thinker's pinnacle teaching sessions about how to break through the limits of the rational mind and begin expanding your awareness and appreciation for the Great Game unfolding all around us.

Whether you're completely new to Alan Watts or familiar with his work, here is a rare opportunity to experience him at his best, improvising brilliantly before a live audience on Out of Your Mind: Essential Listening from the Alan Watts Audio Archives.

Alan Watts had the most beautiful way of drifting us listeners to the serenity that is our pleasure of listening to his lectures. I would recommend this to anyone who takes a moment to glance at this review... You won't regret listening to this... :) The journey through this title is a funny one, much humour making the listening all that easier as well as taking in all the lessons :) - enjoy!

Loved it. listening for a second time now. Alan Watts is unique in that he doesn't ever sound like he's preaching and has a soothing calminv voice and great sense of humor. Really good.

How can I even start to express by words how insightful and amazing is Alan Watts. You must get this, it will change the whole perception of life.

Get it!

Loved it. I wanted to slurp this audio. It was refreshing in so many ways. For those that have awakened "allegedly". However alan describes his journey to understanding having traveled another route from my where I stand. This will not make sense but can be understood if you listen first and you will have traveled via a dynamic displacement of your own.

Good man yourself alan watts!

Amazing

I always admire the consistency in Alan Watts lectures, and his guidance to make our sometimes pressing reality void and, as a result, expand its limits. Beyond the stiff structure in which religions usually fall, these lectures help in working out a new, more flexible, more interactive appreciation of what we call reality.

A game worth exploring

Alan Watts always challenges our conventional ways of thinking, inviting the listener to a grander, more holistic view of the world we live in.

Brilliant

The voice and the recording tone of the 60s specially great!
Good deal for a 12 hour lecture.

Best introduction to Buddhism, super voice tone

Much to realise from Alan Watts with his abundance of experience, also great narrator.
Will need to listen again as there's much to learn.

Insightful

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, because i had such a deep experience listening to Watts talking. Years ago I read some of his books which were clear and helpful but seemed a bit quirky. Having now listened (twice) to 14 hours of him explaining Eastern thought in real depth I realise he was a deeply wise person who was really effective at putting across the unexplainable. On these 50 year old tapes he speaks directly to me today.

Any additional comments?

Just now and again he makes a remark that would have seemed normal in 1966 but seems a bit non PC today. These came as a surprise because it reminded me that he wasn't in the room with me!

Very accessible way into Zen thought
