Una vita autentica, è questa la proposta esistenziale di Osho che qui affronta il tema della ribellione da diverse prospettive quotidiane, senza perdere di vista quello che da sempre è il vero destino dell'essere umano: una gioiosa comunione con l'esistenza. Nel caos sovrano che sembra ritmare la nostra epoca, potrebbe sembrare un discorso "fuori dal mondo".

Per non lasciarsi travolgere dagli eventi, occorre spostarsi dall'abitudine a rispettare le certezze culturali e della tradizione, la propensione a dipendere dagli insegnamenti e dai comportamenti convenzionali, per avvicinare e coltivare le proprie qualità essenziali ed esistenziali.

In the last thirty years, the developing world has undergone tremendous changes. Overall, poverty has fallen, people live longer and healthier lives, and economies have been transformed.
