I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I started reading this. Although this book is small compared to many influential books, it packs some big ideas that I'm still trying to wrap my mind around. If you like to think and want a perspective way beyond the norm, READ THIS BOOK.

If you read Eckhart Tolle's books, you will see pointers of truth in Krischnamurti's teaching. His form of question and answer discussions through out the book provokes awereness of your conciousness about religion, politics, culture, belief systems, relationships, self-knowledge, conflict, suffering, observation of what is, thought and the immeasurable. As a philosopher, Krischnamurti evokes change within oneself which is the essnces of his message.

This book helped me shed my attachment to Zen and Buddhist philosophy. While I still think Zen and Buddhist philosophy have great significance and truth, I realize that I was creating walls by living with these ideas instead of just exploring them and setting them aside. I still "practice" Buddhism but I don't feel as attached to it...we must transcend practice in order to experience truth. The practice must be new...and the word "practice" means doing the same thing over and over....this book helped me realize that we can do things over and over...and on the surface them may seem the same...but if you really know how to practice then they are totally new each time.

A great book to find a basis for conflict in your life. I love they way he puts thoughts together. Easy read with deep meaning.

I am not a philosopher, just interested in looking at issues differently than my conditioning. Well, J Krishnamurti lived up to the title of this little book. No, not a "little" book, a BIG powerful challenge to conventional wisdom. I got what I wanted. A book that offers an alternative way of looking at our social mores. Nearly every page has my highlighting to reinforce that is this one of my favourite books now.
