Two thoughtful and thought-provoking additions to the hugely successful Insights for a New Way of Living series
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. With an artful mix of compassion and humor, Osho encourages his audience to confront what they would most like to avoid, which in turn provides the key to true insight and power.
In Intelligence, Osho extrapolates and describes the difference between Intellect and Intelligence. Intellect is logical; intelligence is paradoxical. Intellect takes things apart to see how they work; intelligence puts things together to see the functioning of the whole. Osho posits that it is only through intelligence that one can see a true and whole vision of the world.
Topics covered :

*The difference between "reacting" and "responding" to challenges and problems.
*The respective roles played by logic, emotions and intuitions in the phenomenon of intelligence. How to understand the difference between them and become more aware of where you're "coming from" when you approach problems. |
