false 97001 3 "Hit-and-run" relationships have become common in our society as it has grown more rootless, less tied to traditional family structures, and more accepting of casual sex. But at the same time, there arises an undercurrent of feeling that something is missing-a quality of intimacy.This quality has very little to do with the physical, though sex is certainly one possible door. Far more important is a willingness to expose our deepest feelings and vulnerabilities, with the trust that the other person will treat them with care. Ultimately, the willingness to take the risk of intimacy has to be grounded in an inner strength that knows that even if the other remains closed, even if that trust is betrayed, we will not suffer any permanent damage.In this gentle and compassionate guide, Osho takes his readers step-by-step through what makes people afraid of intimacy, how to encounter those fears and go beyond them, and what they can do to nourish themselves and their relationships to support more openness and trust.OSHO challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to life in all its richness. He has been described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the "1000 Makers of the 20th Century" and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people-along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha-who have changed the destiny of India. More than a decade after his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world. 345515 book 14 12 2001 Intimacy: Trusting Oneself and the Other total:88|5:38|4:27|3:20|2:2|1:1| 88 363 155 9 97001 0312275668 9780312275662 88 9 4.12 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97001.Intimacy_Trusting_Oneself_and_the_Other 4 1 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 28 21:51:15 -0800 2007 Sun Jan 06 16:48:18 -0800 2008 97001 0312275668 9780312275662 88 9 4.12 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97001.Intimacy_Trusting_Oneself_and_the_Other 5 0 false Thu Sep 18 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Dec 18 23:54:10 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 18 23:57:17 -0800 2008 1 97001 0312275668 9780312275662 88 9 4.12 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97001.Intimacy_Trusting_Oneself_and_the_Other 3 0 false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 08:08:22 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 08:09:11 -0700 2009 97001 0312275668 9780312275662 88 9 4.12 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97001.Intimacy_Trusting_Oneself_and_the_Other 0 0 false Mon Oct 12 10:48:03 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 21:49:20 -0700 2009 97001 0312275668 9780312275662 88 9 4.12 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97001.Intimacy_Trusting_Oneself_and_the_Other 5 0 false Tue Apr 29 13:46:04 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 29 13:47:43 -0700 2008 97001 0312275668 9780312275662 88 9 4.12 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97001.Intimacy_Trusting_Oneself_and_the_Other 5 0 false Wed Sep 03 13:01:51 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 03 13:02:57 -0700 2008 97001 0312275668 9780312275662 88 9 4.12 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97001.Intimacy_Trusting_Oneself_and_the_Other 4 0 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 04 11:12:14 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 14 08:34:02 -0800 2008 97001 0312275668 9780312275662 88 9 4.12 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97001.Intimacy_Trusting_Oneself_and_the_Other 3 0 false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Jan 05 11:14:10 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 05 11:15:04 -0800 2008 97001 0312275668 9780312275662 88 9 4.12 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97001.Intimacy_Trusting_Oneself_and_the_Other 3 0 false Sat Jan 12 18:20:05 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 12 18:30:34 -0800 2008 97001 0312275668 9780312275662 88 9 4.12 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97001.Intimacy_Trusting_Oneself_and_the_Other 5 0 false Tue Dec 08 16:10:26 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 08 16:10:37 -0800 2009 97001 0312275668 9780312275662 88 9 4.12 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97001.Intimacy_Trusting_Oneself_and_the_Other 0 0 false Sun Dec 06 00:16:32 -0800 2009 Sun Dec 06 00:16:32 -0800 2009 97001 0312275668 9780312275662 88 9 4.12 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97001.Intimacy_Trusting_Oneself_and_the_Other 0 0 false Fri Dec 04 10:59:34 -0800 2009 Fri Dec 04 10:59:36 -0800 2009 97001 0312275668 9780312275662 88 9 4.12 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97001.Intimacy_Trusting_Oneself_and_the_Other 0 0 false Mon Nov 30 13:28:31 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 30 13:28:55 -0800 2009 97001 0312275668 9780312275662 88 9 4.12 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97001.Intimacy_Trusting_Oneself_and_the_Other 0 0 false Thu Nov 26 15:22:35 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 26 15:22:46 -0800 2009 97001 0312275668 9780312275662 88 9 4.12 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97001.Intimacy_Trusting_Oneself_and_the_Other 0 0 false Thu Nov 26 02:31:13 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 26 02:31:13 -0800 2009 97001 0312275668 9780312275662 88 9 4.12 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97001.Intimacy_Trusting_Oneself_and_the_Other 0 0 false Wed Nov 25 19:24:37 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 26 01:27:23 -0800 2009 97001 0312275668 9780312275662 88 9 4.12 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97001.Intimacy_Trusting_Oneself_and_the_Other 4 0 false Tue Nov 24 22:04:44 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 24 22:04:44 -0800 2009 97001 0312275668 9780312275662 88 9 4.12 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97001.Intimacy_Trusting_Oneself_and_the_Other 0 0 false Mon Nov 09 19:57:43 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 19:57:43 -0800 2009 97001 0312275668 9780312275662 88 9 4.12 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97001.Intimacy_Trusting_Oneself_and_the_Other 4 0 false Mon Nov 16 13:42:45 -0800 2009 Mon Oct 26 10:56:56 -0700 2009 Mon Nov 16 13:42:45 -0800 2009 97001 0312275668 9780312275662 88 9 4.12 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97001.Intimacy_Trusting_Oneself_and_the_Other 0 0 false Fri Oct 16 23:06:02 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 16 23:06:02 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=97001
