Life is the ultimate game of hide and seek... and the good news is that you're it! With the combination of playful irreverence and penetrating insight that made him a legend in Western philosophy, Alan Watts investigates the surprisingly liberating concept of "the universe as play" found at the heart of Hinduism, Zen, and other wisdom traditions.

Carefully selected by his son and archivist Mark Watts, You're It: On Hiding, Seeking, and Being Found features more than 10 hours of newly restored historic talks from the "spiritual entertainer" who helped define Eastern thought to audiences in the West. Here is a rare chance for listeners to experience the enduring brilliance of one of the greatest spiritual voices of the 20th century.

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

Just discovered him, so I guess that makes me late to the party. Better late than never.
Makes complex ideas digestible and interesting. One of the few authors I would listen to a book and then listen to it again immediately.

Any additional comments?

Currently reading The Wisdom of Insecurity. Another treasure trove of insights.

Alan Watts is groovey.

I've listened to this audiobook at least 3 times and it just gets better after each listen. A must for spiritual seekers!

Enlightening!

Literally woke up lol. Make sure you listen to it very intently especially the chapter about yang and yin/game of yes and no and really dig the chapter about how you actually can't do anything. There's absolutely nothing you can do, then you'll most likely wake up sometime throughout the last chapter. Namaste lol

Good

I'm so thankful that Alan Watts was around for audio recordings and that he made it a practice to get many sessions in. There are some repeated lines and rants in this series, as it is a complication of seminars, still totally worth the time to really cement the ideas and shake loose the paradigms.

Always a great many things that we see as one way and not the other, when in reality you can't have it one way with out the opposite as well.

Use the world as your mirror as you're it.

To be and not to be. There is no question.

What made the experience of listening to You're It! the most enjoyable?

Brings you right back into the moment...Away from the confusion of everyday life..

What was one of the most memorable moments of You're It!?

Too many to consider only a few..

What does the narrator bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

With my eyes reading this much information would be impossible...

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Hard to stop listening to

Excellent ...Very Refreshing

I wasn't a huge fan of Watts before this and that did not change all that much. After listening to this collection I have a better understanding of what he is about. the collection flows well and has minimal overlap. A great listen for anyone and well worth a credit.

All the Alan Watts you'll ever need
