Joy

One of the greatest spiritual teachers of the twentieth century inspires us to experience and appreciate both the happiness—and the sadness—of joy: happiness that comes from within.

With an artistic blend of compassion and humor, Osho shows us that joy is the essence of life, even that unhappiness has its roots in joy. It encourages us to accept joy in gratitude for being alive and the challenges and opportunities in life, and by finding the good in all we have rather than placing conditions or demands on happiness. By embracing joy, one approaches a true, peaceful and balanced state.

Osho challenges readers to examine and liberate the belief systems and prejudices that limit their ability to enjoy life in all its richness. He was described by the Sunday Times in London as one of the "1000 Makers of the Twentieth Century" and by Sunday Midday (India) as one of ten people-along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha-who changed India's destiny. Since his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching scholars of all ages in nearly every country in the world.
