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.

Excellent and enlightening.

Extremely extraordinary book. I felt as if I was there listening to him in person. I also felt that I continued to become more enlightened and more educated every session.

Watt did you say?

Mister Watts contains a plethora of knowledge, understanding life itself. A great mentor for those who seek mentorship, whom are lost and unguided that needs a brighter light to follow!

Alan Watts is the western Krishnamurti

Alan Watts is one of primary explainers and cultivators of Zen Buddhism in the west. His ideas percolated during the stage of hippies and counterculture and the opening up of our minds to the ideas of the East. I found a lot of similarities to Krishnamurti. These are old recordings but still pretty good quality. You can easily listen to this at 1.5 and I ended up at 1.7 since he is so clearly spoken. I find many books are capped at 1.3 and few go over 1.5 but this is an exception. Enjoy!

An amazing chat with an enlightened part of the universe

A wonderful pointer to enlightenment with a mirror pointing right back to this moment as it is.

The biggest surprise is I hadn’t bumped into this book earlier. Definitely a book I will read yearly.

Very lucky to have found this book

I will use it as a reference. Fully enjoyed it but it can't be read and done with.
