Review
Praise for Alan Watts: Offering spiritual answers... Watts is the voice of all who seek a deeper understanding of their own identity and role in the world. ― Watkins Review
The best book I've ever read on the nature of what actually is, what the world is about, and how you should behave. ― John Lloyd, Desert Island Discs
There is just something so right-minded about his overall awareness that I still love reading and listening to anything by him. Out of Your Mind certainly qualifies, and is a fine indicator of why Watts was both my philosophical and literary mentor. This book makes fine company with his best, and I can highly recommend it as a fine starting place to the wonderful world of Alan Watts. -- Ken Wilber ― (author of Integral Meditation)
