About this listen

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.

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
