Description

About the Author Osho is one of the best-known and most provocative spiritual teachers of the twentieth century. Beginning in the 1970s he captured the attention of young people from the West who wanted to experience meditation and transformation. More than 20 years after his death, the influence of his teachings continues to grow, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.

Features & Highlights

  • From one of the greatest spiritual leaders of the twentieth century,
  • Creativity: Unleashing the Forces Within
  • will inspire you to nurture your inner ideas and innovations―and apply them in every aspect of your life.
  • As Osho points out in this book’s foreword, historically, the creative person has been all but forced to rebel against the society.
  • But nowadays, the situation has dramatically changed. In today’s world, the ability to respond creatively to new challenges is demanded of everybody, from corporate CEOs to “soccer moms.” Those whose toolbox for dealing with life includes only what they have learned in the past from their parents and their teachers are at a distinct disadvantage both in their relationships and in their careers. Making a switch from imitative and rule-bound behavior to creative innovation and flexibility requires a profound change in our attitudes about ourselves and our capabilities.
  • Creativity is a handbook for those who understand the need to bring more creativity, playfulness, and flexibility to their lives. It’s a manual for thinking “outside the box”―and learning to live there as well.
  • Osho challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness. He has been described by the
  • Sunday Times of London
  • as one of the “1000 Makers of the 20th Century” and by
  • Sunday Mid-Day
  • (India) as one of the ten people―along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha―who have changed the destiny of India. Since his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.

Good book but...

First of all it is a good book in the subject and offers good insight in aspects like the relation between memory and creativity for instance. The "but" is that it should have been more edited becouse Osho sometimes repeats the same idea and the same sentences so many times that makes you think the book should be a lot shorter than what it is. And the other thing is when he talks in the way he talks about money and glory being of no importance. I don't know why but it always brings to my mind the famous 93 Roll Royce, the number of Rolex, etc...

We shouldn't forget that he was just human. Too human. Anyway, the book is good, but others, like his Awarennes, for instance, are not just good, are wonderful.

Master

Osho is a master spiritual teacher. He draws from all different traditions to express points that lie behind the symbolic languages used by these traditions. I recommend highly his works.

A new percepcion

It certainly wont make you creative from one day to another. But It helps you make conscience about issues that we carry for many years. those issues are responsible of blocking our creativity. What Osho wants us to know is that we have to be free and empty, so we can start creating from a certain pace with in.

It makes you think. Enjoy!

Creativity

Osho has ever been a great Spiritual master and nevertheless Osho Books are great insights for a new way of living. In creativity Osho reflects his voice on being creative. Creativity is within everyone?s reach with no exceptions. To unleash the powers of your potentialities, it?s the strategies that need to be mastered and shoot up the Idea Bank storing all the ideas that pop up in mind. New ideas fleet flashing through conciousness. It?s the time to grab the opportunities and swing into action with the idea bank flow. The new age demands challenges and creativity flow.Osho says "Capture the thoughts into the mind frame and get inspired even from the slightest flutter of the bird?s wings or listening to the rustling of the leaves. Challenge is the second step that accelerate the flow of new ideas and giving it a shape. Failures are well springs of creativity or rather, disappointment leads to creativity with born ideas in mind. Challenge is accepting with grace and surging ahead to heights Efforts give it a push and creativity flowers, an extension to what you already know" Osho's Book is a handy guide and I would also recommend his other reads like 'Meditation'& 'Book of Wisdom' - Great Reads of a great Spiritual Master.
