Out of Your Mind

By: Alan Watts

Narrated by: Alan Watts

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.

Brilliant. & Terrific to be able to listen rather than read!

Wonderful to have the chance to not only receive the wisdom of this brilliant man, but to also actually hear the material as the original talk (& not read by a narrator). Thank you to everyone that made this possible. Fascinating material, perfect format.

Cause if you let your breath go... it'll come back

These lectures are great for anyone with an open mind, from the merely curious to those seeking satori. A self proclaimed "spiritual entertainer," Alan Watts takes various concepts from eastern religions and translates them for a western audience, providing both entertainment and insight along the way. If you ever need a new perspective on the human condition try giving Alan Watts a listen.

This man passed over a decade before I was born, but his voice gives me comfort and his words bring me peace. He's helped me through some tough times, and I return to his lectures, or his writings, from time to time when I need a refresher.

"So, translated into colloquial American, nirvana is 'whew.' 'Cause if you let your breath go... it'll come back."

Alan Watts at his best

Easy listening. AW had a habit of deliberately repeating a few fundamental concepts over and over again but in many different ways so to approach those "truths" from different angles. My favourite spiritual teachers....an evergreen.

No words can describe what this has down to me.

No words can describe what this has down to me. I loved it and I love Alan Watts.

Very good!

Excellent narrative, interesting points of view, dynamic flow of subjects.The author has a deep understanding about western philosophy and knows how to share it!

changed my life

dont second it. buy it and learn life lessons.

one of the best audible investments for sure

Perfect for Intro to Alan

What a wonderful collection of talks. they clearly progress along a path towards further understanding of those seeking Eastern wisdom. He goes over philosophy, Zen, Hinduism, Mahayana Buddhism and other forms as well. He is supremely entertaining. I had never heard Alan Watts speak until buying this audiobook, and I will definitely be listening to it again!

MIND BLOWING

I absolutely love this series!!! There's unexpected truth in every lecture. I'm so grateful for whomever recorded his lectures and packaged them for us.

what can I say this man is the best at what he does. When I hear his voice feel like everything might just be alright.

Wonderfully thought provoking and reassuring

What did you love best about Out of Your Mind?

The content feels so relevant and timeless. It's made my meditations deeper and more full of wonder and energy. His relating the quantum world in way that makes sense is profound. Anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the universe or make their life a more spiritual practice would enjoy these conversations.
