Out of Your Mind
by

Alan W. Watts

Dwight's review

it was ok

bookshelves: audiobook

An exploration of eastern religions from a mid-20th century western perspective. These are recorded lectures, not an audiobook. Mr Watts does a pretty good job easing his listeners into Zen. I wasn't even sure that was where he was going until the 4th or 5th lecture. I don't agree with what he is saying, but he does a well enough job saying it. A few of his jokes fall pretty flat to me, but maybe that is just me.

0% "lectures on Zen from a western viewpoint. Mr Watts seems to enjoy dismissing Christianity flippantly, but there is a bit of wisdom if you get past that and puns masquerading as insight."
