Summary
In order to come to your senses, Alan Watts often said, you sometimes need to go out of your mind.

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 wisdom that helps in daily life
these lectures are fantastic! the way Alan watts presents is the best interpretation of of eastern philosophy for a western audience I have ever heard. he simplifies methods for meditation and spiritual development so they no longer seem arduous long-winded processes involving tons of work and practice. I feel happier after listening.

Words of wisdom
I love this audiobook. The subject matter Alan speaks of takes a while (for me) to grasp however his written down thoughts and audio media such as these talks are enabling me to make sense of what previously seemed nonsensical.

worth the purchass
I enjoy Alan Watts. He offers up old ideas to a western audience that shows there's more to what we think we know, all the while with humour peppered throughout. Thanks to those who made this possible

Awesome but atypical
The "book" is amazing and I love Alan Watts and the stuff he is talking about. I am not a fan of the way this is from speaches he's made. It's a bit weird to listen to audio recordings of that, but other than that I strongly recommend listening to it.

My most recommended audiobook
I tell anyone and everyone I can about this audio book. These are some of the most important pieces of wisdom anyone can hear. I think I’m on my 4th time listening the whole way through. It’s how I fall to sleep most nights.

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.
