As featured in the Ram Dass documentary film Becoming Nobody, five essential live teaching sessions on audio, presented here in their entirety
"The game is not about becoming somebody, it’s about becoming nobody." (Ram Dass)
If you’re a spiritual explorer of any age or tradition, chances are you’ve heard of Ram Dass. This singular luminary began his “somebody training” as Richard Alpert - the 1960’s Harvard-psychologist-turned-hippie who tripped with Timothy Leary, befriended beat poets and Tibetan lamas, found his lifelong guru in India, and wrote the perennial classic Be Here Now.
That’s the “somebody” part of his story. But for those who’ve experienced Ram Dass live as he shares his insights and personal journey on the way to becoming nobody - he has been for many the spark that ignited them to the liberating truth of who we really are.
This audio collection brings us five essential sessions, featured in the Ram Dass documentary film Becoming Nobody, presented here in their entirety. Each beautifully illuminates a core dimension of Ram Dass’s wisdom. Through teaching stories, true accounts, eye-opening revelations, and his one-of-a-kind sense of humor, this legendary teacher helps show us the way out of the prison of our self-identity - and into the joy of being at once “nobody” and the universal divine at play in the world.

Disappointing
I’ve always enjoyed Ram Dass’ teachings, but to be honest this audiobook was a let down. I think I’ve already heard most of the content previously in podcasts. Also, the five audio sessions, pieced together from different times and locations, don’t really come together as a cohesive whole in my opinion. Unlike a book that was written “as a book” and then narrated, this assembly of old recordings feels very unpolished, and at just 5 hours in length is lightweight for the price.
