About this listen

"If you were God," asked Alan Watts, "what kind of universe would you create? A perfect one free of suffering and drama? Or one filled with surprise and delight?"

With Just So, the celebrated philosopher and self-described "spiritual entertainer" invites us to explore the hidden dimensions that shape both the cosmos and our personal experience of it.

From the 1950s to the 1970s, Eastern spiritual philosophies ignited in the West profound new ways of perceiving ourselves and the mysteries of life. And from the beginning, Alan Watts was at the forefront - sparking insight after insight at live gatherings and radio broadcasts. Today Alan Watts' books and recordings bring perennial delight to new listeners of all ages and beliefs.

Here the luminary author and speaker explores three often overlooked yet essential universal dynamics: connection, play, and pleasure. This exceptional collection of sessions includes three complementary seminars:

The Cosmic Network - a journey into the interconnected web of the personal and the infinite

Ecological Awareness - reflections on how humanity and nature evolve through discovery and "purposeless" play

The Pursuit of Pleasure - how a true materialism connects us fully through our senses with others and to the natural flow of the cosmos.

Along the way you'll explore many other themes, at turns humorous, prophetic, and more relevant today than ever. What unfolds is a liberating view of life that arises from possibility and the unpredictable - perfect and "just so" not in spite of its messy imperfections but because of them.

One of the things I loved about this book is how it challenges readers to think outside the box and question their assumptions about the world. The author presents a wealth of fascinating concepts and ideas that will leave you thinking long after you've finished reading. The book is also full of practical tips and exercises that you can use to incorporate these concepts into your daily life.

Overall, I highly recommend Just So to anyone who is looking for a fresh perspective on life and wants to explore the deeper connections that exist between all things. It's a must-read for anyone who wants to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

A really annoying way of sorting chapters, it makes it hard to go back and find where you left off when chapters are so short.

Annoying Sorting of chapters, Good story
