Editorial Review:
Product Description:
‘The material contained in this volume was originally presented in the form of talks to students, teachers and parents in India, but its keen penetration and lucid simplicity will be deeply meaningful to thoughtful people everywhere, of all ages, and in every walk of life. Krishnamurti examines with characteristic objectivity and insight the expressions of what we are pleased to call our culture, our education, religion, politics and tradition; and he throws much light on such basic emotions as ambition, greed and envy, the desire for security and the lust for power – all of which he shows to be deteriorating factors in human society.’ From the Editor’s Note ‘Krishnamurti’s observations and explorations of modern man’s estate are penetrating and profound, yet given with a disarming simplicity and directness. To listen to him or to read his thoughts is to face oneself and the world with an astonishing morning freshness.’ Anne Marrow Lindbergh

Before you read this book "Think on These Things", you must remember one thing: Krishnamurti, most of the time, answered questions from children. That being said, don't be surprised when you read questions and explanations as if he is talking to a child. There are other books by Krishnamurti which "sophisticated" adults will enjoy more. This is one of my favorites though.
Krishnamurti's books should be given to all teenagers, especially in school. That's the time to start doing some serious thinking, and not when you are already in a big hole with no hope to get out (and if you are already there, then you really need to read this book). Why wait until then? Do you love yourself or your children or friends or family? Then start reading all his books. And the best thing is: all you have to do is "think."
For those who want to start on the "self realization" mystical path: Krishnamurti's books should be the first step.
Basically, after reading this book, you will discover, feel, realize, and wonder of how come you have never used your mind before! And... you will never feel alone again, or lost, or empty, confused, or brainless... this is an eye opener for those who never knew that they had eyes!
I tell you what, read the entire book, and then you will feel such a rush that cannot be put into words. So I'll stop here.

"Think On These Things" is the type of book that I don't usually read...however this is a really cool book since it helps you question life & reality to the point where your perception of reality becomes more clear and your understanding of yourself becomes more complete, taking you to the 'true essence' of life.
This is a thought-provoking book and I recommend it for it's wisdom:

Krishnamurti focuses on delightful explorations into the modern person's conscousness & state of being. Thought provoking and casts new light into what's really going on in our psyche, delving into the inner being and touching on topics such as egoism, fear & competitive struggle for power.

Don't believe what J.K. says.
Examine what he says and see if there is any truth in any of it.
Then you've found that truth yourself and he is unimportant.
A must read for every serious student of life.
Rating:  -
Although, as he often noted, some of the questions the students presented were not well put or relevant, in my opinion, I enjoyed this read because it was very simplified and covered important subjects in a brief and friendly manner. It's a good way to start if you wish to know more about Krishnamurti's teachings.
