About the author
Osho
4,296 books6,801 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.

Osho este un mare lider spiritual al secolului XX. Deși se consideră a avea surse ideologice universale, în conferințele sale (căci, de fapt, nu își scrie el cărțile) se vede clar influența confucianistă și taoistă. Ceea ce atrage e faptul că vorbește liber, eliminând prejudecățile și conceptul de rasă, evitând atacurile la persoană și vorbind de problemele grave ale lumii contemporane.

October 22, 2021Książka składa się z przetłumaczonych wykładów przez co wydaje się bardzo chaotycznie napisana i z tego powodu jest wiele powtórzeń, kilka ciekawych rozdziałów, ale pozatym nic odkrywczego

2,7⭐️ Mam odczucia ambiwalentne do tej książki. Nie jest zła, da się tutaj znaleźć coś dla siebie (jak zapewne w każdej książce duchowej/self-help), ale w pewnych kwestiach autor się zwyczajnie odkleja, zaczyna się lanie wody i zbędne anegdoty. Trochę mnie męczyło jej czytanie bo książka jest o wszystkim i o niczym.

z niektorymi sprawami sie zgadzam, inne sa dla mnie zbyt abstrakcyjne.

I like Osho books. I read 13 of them. 14th Tantra is on the way.
Simple to read. I was attracted by the cover page, the title of the Osho's books and easiness to read.
Attention! Osho's books are the the collections of Osho's readings.
This book was published in 2012.
The world of Osho is different than the real life, but give you positive energy for the meditation and feeling goo throughout the day.

July 14, 2020Everything else in life is promises, but only false promises. The goods are never delivered. Money promises that if you have it you will be helped. But people go on becoming richer and richer and happiness never arrives. It is always there like the horizon - very elusive. Relationships give you the idea that everything will be good now and you will live in happiness forever, but it never happens.
Only with finding your center, satisfaction happens. Only with finding your center does that process stop, that wheel moves no more. Coming home to your center, all desiring disappears - you are utterly satisfied, and forever. It is not a momentary satisfaction. It is contentment, absolute contentment. Coming home inside yourself satisfies, really satisfies.

Książka dająca do myślenia, jednak nie można jej czytać nie będąc osobą świadomą. Nie możemy ślepo podążać za przekonaniami Osho. Mimo to Osho porusza wiele ważnych kwestii, które są warte uwagi. Moim zdaniem jest to książka warta uwagi.

Nie ze wszystkim się zgadzam, ale książka otworzyła mi takie drzwi w mojej głowie o których nie miałam pojęcia a są w zgodzie ze mną. Nie powtarzalna, ma bardzo piękną głębię. Będę częściej sięgała po książki Osho. Ale niektóre myśli kocham!

The only thing wrong with this book is that it exists. Oh to be the author! to talk and talk and to spin and spin! Spinning words into sentences that make no absolute sense. Many a times he contradicts himself, like sober and hammered. Wonder what influence he was under...

Very inspiring and thought-provoking. Worth reading and rereading.

Very good book

Uma boa leitura pra quem quer de maneira fácil buscar um novo sentido pra vida novamente, o autor tenta nos mostrar que a felicidade está nas coisas pequenas

3.5 lepsza niż ta o zdrowiu emocjonalnym, mniej szkodliwa. parę razy musiałam dłużej się zastanowić bo skłaniała mnie do refleksji. jednak przez to że są to nagrane wykłady czuć chaos

Ouço e leio Osho há muito tempo, mas em fragmentos, frases soltas. Esse foi o primeiro livro que li, e adorei. A filosofia de vida dele é incrível, achei difícil ler e não me sentir leve.. isso mesmo, são conceitos que te fazem colocar em outra perspectiva o sofrimento. Os outros tantos livros dele entraram pra lista de espera.

Osho nahlodal moju zvedavosť. Postrčil ma k aktivite. Na druhú stranu, v niektorých častiach diela na mňa pôsobil zmätočne – nerozumela som tomu, ani keď som si to párkrát prečítala. Niekedy mi unikalo, čo nám chce povedať – ani príbehy na lepšie pochopenie nezabrali. „Odpálilo“ mi to mozog. Možno musím na niektoré životné témy vyzrieť a vrátiť sa k tomu neskôr. Asi budem potrebovať až niekoľko rokov...

Osho's books are treatises about spirituality and mindfulness as opposed to book about any particular religion/ or religious practice.
Like all other books in this collection, "The Journey of Being Human" is actually a collection of transcripts after talks that Osho gave, trying to answer various questions posed by his disciples. This means that some of the examples and the explanations offered through the book sometimes repeat themselves and that the writing style is not the spotless and clean style that we are used to,from other publications.
As part of his talks, Osho uses a series of anecdotes and stories about real historical characters - and while these stories are most certainly not true, they do have a very educative and illustrative role in helping him make his point.
All in all I enjoyed reading the book and I found it to be a very insightful. I think that the general idea of the book can certainly enrich anyone's spiritual life and that among all the anecdotes and examples we can all find a few things to lean from. Far away from being a scientific thesis, this book appeals to our sensitivity by posing and discussing important existential questions that transcend religion, culture or time.

This is a wonderful book.
Dont be put off by any unfavourable reviews - Definitely a must-read if you enjoy the personal development genre.
It doesnt really aim to give strict prescriptions for happiness of course - but illustrates basic truths by example, analogy, comparison and a fairly loose deductive logic and I found it makes for a very enjoyable and rather enlightening ride.
He has a great rambling philosophical style - a bit like being sat on the knee of the wise grandfather that, in the ideal world, we all really should have had.
Its somehow very humorous, broad, analytical and incisive all at the same time. You will smile, laugh and learn a lot.
5 Stars.

Every line, every page is pure gold!
It is not a book written by Osho but a collection of transcriptions from his audio and video recordings.
It is a collection of mindblowing answers to some very important questions in the life of a human being. He has a philosophical approach in answering the questions but in an easy to understand manner with using personal stories to give the reader more clarity. Very enlightening.
"Man's evolution is multidimensional, his consciousness can grow to infinity, and it should grow to infinity."

El tercer libro de Osho q leo y me gustó siempre divaga en su narrativa, pero te atrapa de cierta manera q quieres continuar con la lectura.

Excelente, como siempre Osho es de lo mejor para leer como superación personal. Muy recomendado, y te va a dejar con ganas de leer más.
