About this audiobook
Alan Watts became famous first as a brilliant intellectual and then as a serious student of Buddhism and meditation. In the 1970s, the last years of his life, he retreated to a small, isolated cabin deep in the woods. He meditated every morning and then wrote. Still the Mind consists of several talks he gave in his later years, recorded and edited by his son, Mark Watts, and then published as a book. His speaking shows a maturity and wisdom that can only come after years of meditation, and his teachings are still as visionary today as when they were first spoken. In his teachings, Alan Watts uses words to take us beyond them. He instills in listeners not only an understanding of meditation but an experience of it as well. Whether you have been meditating for years or are just beginning, Still the Mind will deepen your practice. It takes you on a journey that shows you the great miracle of who you really are.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Feels oddly out of context, with audio snapping between ambient sounds in a room, as if recorded at a dinner party with a noisy street outside, and studio quality recording. Mix in some sudden bursts of loud static and pops.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I've heard an old copy of the recorded session that this audio-book is based on numerous times, and Watts are the best of the modern day Buddhist-inspired human beings to convey essential messages to a more modern society. Even if this is from the seventies or something.
One of my favorites.
