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.

Very accessible way into Zen thought
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!

Excellent overall view of man and his mind
I think many of us have come across snippets of Alan Watts lectures on YouTube. I got this on offer and finished it in a few days when doing some very manual labour. Having been interested in mental health though volunteer work and chats with various people I'm so glad I listened to this book.
His valuable insights into Hinduism, Buddhism, meditation and the various stages of mankind and how the mind works and in particular how simple life can be for all those people lost in mind confusion.
Invaluable asset which cuts through a lot of mind-twaddle that ony leads people into more confusion.

Excellent, very calming
Really enjoying it, not far in. Would be great if the chapters were titled, like many recordings here it's just.. chapter 1, chapter 2 etc, not helpful. Alan and the readings are fantastic!

Essential for life
Alan Watts changed my life. One of the best antidotes for modern anxieties that I am sure we all feel.

Wonderful.
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!

Good man yourself alan watts!
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.
