Still the Mind: An Introduction to Meditation

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.
