Editorial Reviews
Product Description
In Freedom, Osho outlines three stages of freedom. The first is "freedom from," which is a freedom that comes from breaking out of what he calls the "psychological slavery" imposed by outside forces such as parents, society, or religion. The next stage is "freedom for," a positive freedom that comes from embracing and creating something---a fulfilling relationship, for example, or an artistic or humanitarian vision. And lastly there is "just freedom," the highest and ultimate freedom. This last freedom is more than being for or against something; it is the freedom of simply being oneself and responding truthfully to each moment.

The Insights for a New Way of Living series aims to shine light on beliefs and attitudes that prevent individuals from being their true selves. The text is an artful mix of compassion and humor, and readers are encouraged to confront what they would most like to avoid, which in turn provides the key to true insight and power.

Freedom helps readers to identify the obstacles to their freedom, both circumstantial and self-imposed, to choose their battles wisely, and to find the courage to be true to themselves.

1 out of 5 starsI hated it!!!, 2008-09-27
I couldn't get past page 30 around the time when I read that there is no freedom unless God dies. I don't want to kill God in any way shape or form. Its funny cause I needed a book to help me feel stronger in myself worth. I thought this book might help me. I was torn between buying a good study bible to expand my staggering faith or a new aged book on self growth. I thought " Hey this is it!!!!" I figured I would give it a try. Its funny cause reading it made me want to read the bible even more. I felt as though I were reading the words of someone that hated a long lost friend of mine. I didn't like his standing point on religion at all. So needless to say I purchased a bible shortly after and I am growing in that. I feel free now!!! Osho seems to hate everything thats normal in our society and everything thats loving as well. To be free frienship must die because it is like a form of slavery, marriage is a form of slavery becuase it binds you to another person. We should all just love one another and not claim one another.. then you are free. I just couldn't get with his idea of freedom.

5 out of 5 starsSo glad I bought this, 2006-02-27
Osho talks in plain clear words. There is no confusion here. No pretention, no complications. There are no theories, no convoluted rationalizations. Its just common sense talk. Sometimes we forget how to think in simple terms about our own free will. I highly recommend this book.

Simply put, you will find some of the most profound wisdom that exists in the world today. It is no suprise this author was called "The most dangerous man since Jesus Christ".
