About the author
Osho
4,343 books6,848 followersRajneesh (born Chandra Mohan Jain, 11 December 1931 – 19 January 1990) and latter rebranded as Osho was leader of the Rajneesh movement. During his lifetime he was viewed as a controversial new religious movement leader and mystic.
In the 1960s he traveled throughout India as a public speaker and was a vocal critic of socialism, Mahatma Gandhi, and Hindu religious orthodoxy.
Rajneesh emphasized the importance of meditation, mindfulness, love, celebration, courage, creativity and humor—qualities that he viewed as being suppressed by adherence to static belief systems, religious tradition and socialization.
In advocating a more open attitude to human sexuality he caused controversy in India during the late 1960s and became known as "the sex guru".
In 1970, Rajneesh spent time in Mumbai initiating followers known as "neo-sannyasins". During this period he expanded his spiritual teachings and commented extensively in discourses on the writings of religious traditions, mystics, and philosophers from around the world. In 1974 Rajneesh relocated to Pune, where an ashram was established and a variety of therapies, incorporating methods first developed by the Human Potential Movement, were offered to a growing Western following. By the late 1970s, the tension between the ruling Janata Party government of Morarji Desai and the movement led to a curbing of the ashram's development and a back taxes claim estimated at $5 million.
In 1981, the Rajneesh movement's efforts refocused on activities in the United States and Rajneesh relocated to a facility known as Rajneeshpuram in Wasco County, Oregon. Almost immediately the movement ran into conflict with county residents and the state government, and a succession of legal battles concerning the ashram's construction and continued development curtailed its success.
In 1985, in the wake of a series of serious crimes by his followers, including a mass food poisoning attack with Salmonella bacteria and an aborted assassination plot to murder U.S. Attorney Charles H. Turner, Rajneesh alleged that his personal secretary Ma Anand Sheela and her close supporters had been responsible. He was later deported from the United States in accordance with an Alford plea bargain.[
After his deportation, 21 countries denied him entry. He ultimately returned to India and a revived Pune ashram, where he died in 1990. Rajneesh's ashram, now known as OSHO International Meditation Resort and all associated intellectual property, is managed by the Zurich registered Osho International Foundation (formerly Rajneesh International Foundation). Rajneesh's teachings have had a notable impact on Western New Age thought, and their popularity has increased markedly since his death.

November 28, 2018So is this another "How to" or a glorious self-help books? No, that is far from the case. Osho insights provided here open a door where all the questions of "how to" dissolve into a direct experience of our own hidden reality. This is not a "how to" book, this is a flame that can be used to light the hidden corners of our own unique individuality.
So, Osho identifies and segregates anger as an individual emotion and asks two things to be done to it.
Firstly, never to suppress it but to express it; but like a vomit. When we feel like vomiting we go find a bathroom not find someone to throw on them nor try to suppress it. And the detailing about what happens when you suppress/control anger and the detailing its effect to its minutest part in our body system is just spine chilling.
Secondly, Osho asks to be aware of it, to bring consciousness to it. Then only it can be transformed into compassion otherwise we will end up picking up the remnants of aftermath, he says.
Osho being a mystic and a spiritual master brings small tales about various Zen masters with him and Buddha's example of periphery and being centered is just impeccable, and not to forget the electricity example is mighty hilarious.
No-nonsense, no unnecessary promises nor philosophizing about the whole anger thingy. Just straight to the point, at 24 pages length gem of a book this is. 5/5

My fav quotes (not a review):
-Page 4 |
"You are grounded on the periphery, a Buddha is grounded in the center. He can look at his own periphery from a distance; when you hit him he can see it as if you have hit somebody else, because the center is so distant…as if he is a watcher on the hills and something is happening in the valleys and he can see"
-Page 11 |
"electricity was the god being angry, now we have domesticated that god. Now that god runs through your fan, through your air conditioner, through the fridge"

Good book
I like this book because it had a different look on how to deal with the anger. I think everyone should would read this.

Don’t seem to help with my anger.

This book is a good short read on the topic of Anger. The book starts with the famous Zen story of a student trying to get rid of his anger by seeking help from the Zen master Bankei. Osho explains quite well how being centered in our true nature is the ultimate resonance of our Buddha nature and anger is the energy that moves us towards the periphery. He also further explains how the energy from anger transformed into compassion is the ultimate solution.

Osho said don't hide anger. But for me, it was not clear what to do with it!
Some of the examples using Buddha are very good.
