did not like it
bookshelves: borrowed, badly-written, non-fiction

I haven't read such a well written pile of shit since.. Well.. Never.

This might as well be top 5 worst works I have laid my eyes on.

Personally, I stay away from books that try to teach you about how you should approach a subject, or the ones that give you advice or pretend like they do, at least. I don't believe they could actually teach me the thing that they are preaching. I learn by personal experience and personal observations. I listen carefully to what others have to say about a situation, then when confronted with that situation, I try to handle it as best as I figure, in my own way.

But this? This must be the worst preacher ever. Or maybe it's a strategy to constantly repeat the same sentence in different forms. Maybe OSHO was trying to hypnotize me.

What do you know, it didn't work. I'm not impressed at all.

I can't understand what other people draw from it. How you can learn something from it. I don't see it. Or, maybe, as OSHO puts it, I'm simply not evolved enough for this..

Phahahahaha. Funny.

Chintan Gundarania I'm not getting you. Explain !


message 2: by ö (new) - rated it 5 stars

ö Slettemark I think it's fair to say that there is not one way to be creative - this is for the spiritually inclined person. who to say Oshos narrow definition of cretivity is the only one? :) be creative! dont act creative!!


message 3: by Basia (new)

Basia You have contradicted yourself by saying that you follow an “open mind approach� to life and learn from every experience and then bashing on the author. Haven’t you learnt anything from the book? Or is the book striking a sore nerve?


Ravikumar Paulpandian The 'I' s in your review says it all


message 5: by Olga (new)

Olga Lissey Why did you even bother to open it if you are not even close to spirituality? That's my question.


MarilynLovesNature A long time ago I bought some taro cards with book called Osho Zen Taro. I found the cards and their interpretation by the book to be very helpful. I really disliked the art style of the cards however. This was probably from this same osho guy. However I have found through past experience that such persons who believe in free sex (going back to the hippie days of the 70's) are rather narcissistic and take advantage of others' naïveté.


MarilynLovesNature So if this is the same Osho guy, he has a lot to offer, but he also has something missing.
