Krishnamurti shows how people can free themselves radically and immediately from the tyranny of the expected, no matter what their age--opening the door to transforming society and their relationships.

This book summarizes the teachings of J. Krishnamurti. If any human being could read one book in their lives this should be the one. After reading the book one can get the sense of immense potential in terms of freedom, love, and joy.
One can see for oneself the influence of culture and tradition on our thought process at a fundamental level. One can see how this influence conditions our mind and distorts the perception of facts. At the same time the human mind has an inner demand to be free from this influence.

Our desire to be free is pacified by organized religions, gurus, psychologists, and propaganda by the politicians. However, it does not die until an answer is found.

So, if the desire to be free is present even the minutest of forms then this book can be a true beginning in life of freedom and happiness.

This book helped me shed my attachment to Zen and Buddhist philosophy. While I still think Zen and Buddhist philosophy have great significance and truth, I realize that I was creating walls by living with these ideas instead of just exploring them and setting them aside. I still "practice" Buddhism but I don't feel as attached to it...we must transcend practice in order to experience truth. The practice must be new...and the word "practice" means doing the same thing over and over....this book helped me realize that we can do things over and over...and on the surface them may seem the same...but if you really know how to practice then they are totally new each time
