Description

In order to come to your senses, Alan Watts often said, you sometimes need to go out of your mind. This book presents 12 pinnacle teachings on how to break through the limits of the rational mind and play the “Great Game of Life.” Born from hundreds of recordings by Alan Watt’s son and archivist, Out of Your Mind captures the scope of this legendary teacher in action for long-time followers and a new generation of fans. Alan Watts' unconventional and refreshing teachings on the deeper principles of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Western philosophy never tire. Here he offers insight themes such as: The art of the controlled accident—what happens when you stop taking your life so seriously and enjoy it with complete sincerity; how we come to believe that we are skin-encapsulated egos separate from the world around us and how to transcend that illusion; and why we must fully embrace chaos and the void to find our deepest purpose.
