Just So

If you've enjoyed any lecture of his on YouTube you're going to be enthralled

A combination of over 20 hours of Watts speaking of self realizations and the true meaning to life. I have new perspective for everything I have done and will do moving forward.

I'm already restarting the audiobook because of how fantastic the first 1/3 of it is. The middle half is extremely intellectual and philosophical so one might feel a sort of drone, but the final third is reward enough for sticking it out.

I recommend listening at 1.25x

Alan Watts is more relevant today than ever

We need more teachers like this in our lives. I have been listening to Alan's teachings now for a couple years. Wish I found this in my twenties. Practical advice and deconstruction of things I was taught as a child. In a time when insulation and separateness are all we hear about, it is a real eye opener to see we really haven't come as far as you think. Still lots of work to do. These are words that will ring true, if you let them.

Just so is Just so good

This is really good. I'm glad these collections keep coming out. This one is really interesting in the why it's presented. For example they put all the chapters in short clips, and that makes it easier to get back to spots you really liked. Over all the audiobook is great. Worth the money and time.

Achieve higher enlightenment

What made the experience of listening to Just So the most enjoyable?

Listen to his soothing voice while he opens your mind, scrambles it like eggs and returns it to the plate.

You you are interesting in this in anyway or you enjoy Alan Watts then this is a must. Great lectures and great stories that everyone should hear really. I highly recommend it.

A Watts Essential

My favorite Watts series after having listened to all others. The only downfall I might say this series has is the lecture on money a quarter of the way through. After that, it is superb listening that entices you to think of the subject at hand in a way that you may have not previously considered. The last 3 lectures are particularly grand, leaving you with a smile on your face and a zest for this thing called life.

Watts: “Life is not a duty, it is a pleasure.”

It’s Watts, so it’s good, but...

It feels a bit cobbled together and doesn’t flow as well as it should. I would still recommend it to fans of Watts, but maybe not as a first intro to Watts. Then again, the magic is still there...

Prescient lectures

Alan Watts doesn't disappoint. These lectures have great content.
The narration does leave a bit the entertaining tone, and gets more serious at times.
Watts covers a number of topics that remain relevant today, or have become now even more relevant, such as:
- The proliferation of cheap plane flights; the globalization.
- The progressive loss of privacy, its advantages and disadvantages, and the implications for society.
All in all a very recommended listen, would happily listen again.

It's all there and it is simply the best, It's very rare when some one can see through all the programming.
