Courage: the Joy of Living Dangerously (Insights for a New Way of Living) (Osho Insights for a New Way of Living) Paperback – 21 Jan. 2000

Truly remarkable this book like other books writer by OSHO has changed my life it’s beautiful

This book is absolutely beautiful. I believe that I was born spiritual and have lived my life spiritually since I was very young. This book makes sense of the difficulties and hardships I have faced and the conditions forced upon me since birth. Once I was old enough I went my own way as an individual, taking risks and dating to be different. I am true to myself and authentic always. I am one of the lucky ones I guess, labelled "harmlessly mad" it is a JOY to be so. The wisdom of Osho is beyond measure. Just purchased six more of his books! I feel so enlightened after listening to just this one. Cannot imagine how I will feel after reading more.. A book everyone on the planet will benefit from.

I was introduced to the works of Osho by a YouTube Subscriber called Elliott Hulse. I glad I was because this book is as insightful as ever. Some of the theories explained in this book are incredibly thought provoking and give you a whole new outlook on life. More importantly this helped me to understand how important it is to actively put myself into a meditative state, see things for what they really are, and just escape "reality" from time to time. This book helps you to be courageous by simply showing how small our problems really are. We have instinctive fears that keep us alive, but these are only 10% of these fears. Our other fears are completely man-made and exist only in our own heads. Once I was reminded this I just threw myself into life. I've progressed so far in life from reading this. I strongly recommend you give it a read.

The principles outlined in this book have helped me through a stressful patch in life - one that needed a bit of courage in order to move forward from a stuck situation. The writing style is a bit esoteric at times but it's worth the effort. Basically, the book encourages the reader to embrace the spontaneous unfolding of life, and to recognise that this happens anyway regardless of how safe one tries to play it. Osho argues that the chance of something unusual and refreshing happening is raised if you are brave enough to break out of your comfort zone and shake things up a bit. And we all need to break out of our comfort zones sometimes.

I have read hundreds of books but few have changed the way I think like this book has. Since reading "Courage" I have gone on to read many other books by Osho. His insight is deep and so obvious its a wonder we don't see it. I can only suppose that modern society has created a haze or we have become so hypnotised we are blind to it.Osho is a legend without any doubt. If your want to be be enlightened without being dictated to then this is the book for you.

One of the best books I’ve ever read in my life , probably the best , actually.I just hope I can fully internalise its wisdom before it’s too late.

A book full of wisdom and insight. Like another reviewer here, I had started reading the book initially and never finished it but recently I started re-reading it and this time the words really spoke to me - as is the case with many other spiritual and self-help books, one has to be in the right stage and frame of mind to fully appreciate and immerse the words and message in this book. Clear, deep and strong - I recommend this book, which can be read over and over again during one's journey in life.

Quick read and funny, but wouldn't read it twice.
