YOU'RE IT! On Hiding, Seeking, and Being Found

Alan Watts, a self-described "entertainer" or “stand-up philosopher,” is well known for the more than two dozen books he wrote about Eastern wisdom traditions. But Watts was also a prolific and effective public speaker, and this production presents more than 12 hours of talks he gave on subjects such as spiritual seeking, Zen Buddhism, Hinduism, Daoism, and more. The recordings present the spontaneous and truculent sides of Watts and are a wonderful group of lectures for all those interested in these topics. While they don't form a coherent group around a single theme, they do fit together, presenting Watts's worldview and providing insights into the subjects he presented.
