I've listened to just about all of Alan's lectures on YouTube, multiple times over. It never gets old. This, however, is probably the best lecture that synthesizes his teachings in layman's terms. It's the perfect talk to introduce Watt's philosophy to first time listeners. He has a way to touch your soul like none other. So well spoken; he can take the complex and simplify it for what life actually is. Just amazing. His life will always live on with these recordings. I just wish more people heard his message. Love to all ❤

Alan Watts very cleverly picks up where Nietzsche left off, showing the West a potential path forward that N himself could not find to even his own satisfaction. Watts draws from Eastern philosophy to help fill in the holes in Western angst, and he does it in a very charismatic, entertaining, and non-preachy way. There's no sales pitch, no sky-high promises of self-improvement, just an outstretched hand offering to show us alternatives to how we were raised to think.

Ive listened to Alan Watt's for 10 years this year. And im very very grateful for this mans life and wisdom. Whatever our belief systems, this man has touched the soul's of so many people. His respect and perspective for life and understanding is so magnificently helpful to survive this busy chaotic life. I truly wish i alive when he was, to sit, listen, and just be.

I'm of the opinion that Alan Watts was one of the most brilliant minds to ever live. Being able to listen to his speeches like this many years after he has passed is one of the great privileges of modern technology.
