Eastern thought with a Western accent.

Alan Watts is a spiritual entertainer. If you are not enlightened and entertained by this audio book, I'm sure Audible can refund your misery.

Alan Watts is insightful, intense and entertaining. He cuts through the tradition of zen and other mystical traditions and brings out the essence.

Indeed

This is some of Alan Watts more obscure lectures but nonetheless a collection of gems.

GOOD

Another excellent book by Alan Watts.
His philosophy and explanations are so logical, it is an absolute joy to listen to him.
His way of thinking can only simplify and enrich your life.
The recording is old, but good. No apology needed as stated at the opening.
My thanks to all involved, JK.

I have found a way …

After suffering a devastating breakup from a woman who I still consider to be the love of my life … my “soul mate” … and finally seeing the true light … the true meaning of MY existence and how it can affect and effect all the universe of me and around me that it and me are one and the same … The more I listen to and read of Dr. Watts works and the closer I come to true being and a better man

I actually finished this one. Three times! Since yesterday..

Amazing.
Great content. Great ideas. Great points.
Great “narrating”. Great comic relief.
The best audiobook in my library

A wonderful book

A fantastic book that I found to be developmental and maturative for a young man coming of age such as myself. I found this book to be relatable and generally worthwhile to get through and I further highly recommend this book.
