Stop, look and think . . . a different perspective

I'm not sure what this lecture or speech is from, there was no reference information. There was background noise that was distracting - like water running out of a tap at times, moving noises, maybe some clattering type of noise like plates.

There are longer Youtube videos of Alan Watts with better sound quality with better context. This seems to be an extract of a longer talk.

However, this extract is meaningful. There are some interesting reflections and ideas shared in this, and it did add to or change my understanding and perceptions a bit.

So, the ideas shared are valuable. The way they are communicated is poor, but I am glad that this talk (or extract) was preserved.

Good stuff

Alan Watts is (even though he spends all of his time in another dimension now that his body is dead ) still A W E S O M E, buy all his book and audio books and maybe you can find said dimension and tell him I said so.

OK.

Any additional comments?

It's ok. I wouldn't spend money on it if I had known what it was. No new insights.

Amazing how he sees things...

He takes life's complexities and makes them more tangible. Always great to listen to his talks to broaden the mind's understanding of life. Such a great raconteur.

the author show you how life is connected and everything is one and show you a different perspective on everything in the world and how you look at things and everything you thought you know you don't know cause everything around us is your illusion and he breaks it down and what he says make a whole lot of sense

Alan Watts voice makes me happy.

I don't know why his voice makes me happy, but it does. It's very soothing.

I discovered Alan Watts on YouTube and was excited to see his teachings on Audible.

Alan's teachings in this audiobook put a unique perspective on human nature. I loved it.

Alan Watts will not disappoint

Best philosophy ever. Entertaining, wise, beautiful words. Amazon requires fifteen words so words words words.
