Purchase options and add-ons

Courage is not the absence of fear, says Osho. It is, rather, the total presence of fear, with the courage to face it. This book provides a bird's-eye view of the whole terrain-where fears originate, how to understand them, and how to find the courage to face them. In the process, Osho proposes that whenever we are faced with uncertainty and change in our lives, it is actually a cause for celebration. Instead of trying to hang on to the familiar and the known, we can learn to enjoy these situations as opportunities for adventure and for deepening our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

The book begins with an in-depth exploration of the meaning of courage and how it is expressed in the everyday life of the individual. Unlike books that focus on heroic acts of courage in exceptional circumstances, the focus here is on developing the inner courage that enables us to lead authentic and fulfilling lives on a day-to-day basis. This is the courage to change when change is needed, the courage to stand up for our own truth, even against the opinions of others, and the courage to embrace the unknown in spite of our fears-in our relationships, in our careers, or in the ongoing journey of understanding who we are and why we are here.

Courage also features a number of meditation techniques specifically designed by Osho to help people deal with their fears.

Latest News : OSHO TIMES http://www.oshotimes.com

Osho, known for his revolutionary contribution to the science of inner transformation, continues to inspire millions of people worldwide in their search to define a new approach to individual spirituality that is self-directed and responsive to the everyday challenges of contemporary life. The Sunday Times of London named him one of the '1,000 Makers of the Twentieth Century,' and novelist Tom Robbins called him 'the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ.' For more information about Osho and his work, please visit osho.com.

Osho's teachings defy categorization, covering everything from the individual quest for meaning to the most urgent social and political issues facing individuals and society today.

His unique "Osho Active Meditations" are designed to first release the accumulated stresses of body and mind, so that it is easier to experience the thought-free and relaxed state of meditation. (Meditation -The First and Last Freedom, by Osho)

About his own work Osho has said that he is helping to create the conditions for the birth of a new kind of human being. He has often characterized this new human being as "Zorba the Buddha" -- capable both of enjoying the earthy pleasures of a Zorba the Greek and the silent serenity of a Gautam Buddha.

Running like a thread through all aspects of Osho's work is a vision that encompasses both the timeless wisdom of the East and the highest potential of Western science and technology.

Osho has been described by the Sunday Times in London as one of the "1000 Makers of the 20th Century" and by American author Tom Robbins as "the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ."

If you love Osho and resonate with his beliefs you should read it

Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2019

Osho takes you from the realm of conformity in life as its been taught to us; blend in, be like everyone else, dress properly, choose the right friends and so on.....to a new way of thinking. He is leading the reader down the path to enlightenment, one that is difficult to comprehend and likely impossible for us to achieve. Although I do not agree with everything he says, I do believe the we all live in fear of the unknown and primarily death. Courage, who couldn't do with a little more of that....self confidence...patience ...love...understanding and a little less of worrying about what people think of us and conforming whether we like it or not. A very freeing idea to just be yourself, but not quite as easy as it sounds.

People who want to take risk, should read this book.

Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

I gave this book five stars.
Osho did a great job explaining the definition of courage. I thought courage and bravery go together, but osho says that bravery is a coward upside down because people try to repress it. Osho says courage is accepting fear and still face it head on, to become fearless. Osho talks about about risk taking, like whenever there a opportunity go for it, don't let your mind try to stop you. He also says they the greatest fear of all people is other people opinions and when you stop caring about what other people think you become a lion. Osho has some more wisdom but I'm not going to give them away, you have to read them yourself. This book is going to help me because I'm going to take risk, face my fears, stop caring about what people think, and lived dangerously.

Following your heart is the first step to living a fulfilling life

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is probably one of my top 3 favorite books of all time along with Models and Psycho cybernetics. Osho has a way with words that is able to impact the audience like no other. We've all listened to motivational speeches addressing fear, but Osho talks about the aspects that others haven't even touched before. A great lesson that I've learned is that living freely and courageously means following your heart. At times it could lead to you to grand adventures, but at the same time, it could also lead down to scary roads too. These days many people are living by their mind too much. The mind is a great instrument, but it's always calculating and analyzing, which causes people to suffer from analysis paralysis. The best way to live a happy and fullfilling life is to follow your heart and take a leap of faith!

Very enjoyable easily readable book.

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2014

Verified Purchase

Osho always has awesome ideas and insights into the nature of mind and reality, and this book is no exception.

I must admit it starts a little slow, and with my short attention span I found it slightly boring in the beginning chapters. As the book got going however it felt like one profound insight after another. His simple method of writing is pleasant and makes it easily understandable, I didn't find myself re reading pages very often like you often have to in spiritual and psychology books.

Anyone looking for a good book on insight into the mental "mechanics" behind our fears, or anyone that loves psychology you will find this interesting. For those out there looking for a self help or book with "methods" this is not for you though. There is no methods of enlightenment or practice in here.

Cheers!

The world is not so bad

Reviewed in Canada on March 26, 2023

Verified Purchase

Osho speaks gold but the world is not hell. After reading about love and hate, it feels a bit hypocritical to teach people to love by criticizing the world so heavily that it almost feels like hate.

No not everyone is out there to subdue you. Ever society doesn’t run on oppressing you. But i guess it’s easier to blame and make a big bad villain out of everything coz that’s what appeals to humans. Finding relatedness in criticism.
