Summary

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.

Cuts through the nonsense

Alan cuts through and makes easily digestible sense of eastern spiritual practices and literally the title of the book is the underpinning message seemingly of all these mystical teachings... You're it.
it's well worth a listen if you're in a haze of confusion due to seeking spiritual enlightenment of any description and it has brought me calmness and serenity at the time where I was feeling a little lost with the weight of unknown depths of spirituality.

If you have a hole in your life, get this.

Alan Watts is the real deal. He left the world with a lot of audio & video material for us enjoy, long before we had YouTube. Yet his work has stood the test of time, and is a bit of a YouTube star,



You will not be disappointed with this audio collection. Lots for you to contemplate on, and plenty of laughs, and stories along the way, to help you understand what he is talking about.

Brilliant listening. Alan Watts come back.

These recordings are priceless. No sensible human being can deny most of his logic. The guy was way ahead of his time and a true visionary.

loved it

sometimes hard to listen with the background noises. These are recorded lectures so you just have to visualise your in the room.

A most extraordinary collection of talks from a wonderful man

Alan's insights and explanations are a joy to listen to. Judging by them the man wouldn't want to be exalted even though he thoroughly deserves to be.

He digs deep into the folly of human thinking, the futility our self-obsessed search for meaning and our ultimate need to chill out, live in the moment and just accept things for what they are - our own, self-projected illusions.

Fabulous listening

Mind blowing stuff

Clearly delivered and elegantly spoken. This guy is very good. This is one of the best books i have listened to from audible. Verbal gold so to speak. It had a profound affect on me.
