  <description><![CDATA[The model of the traditional family is breaking down, children barely into their teens are experimenting with sex, and half of all marriages in developed countries end in divorce. In Love, Freedom, and Aloneness Osho explains why these phenomena are happening and how they can actually be viewed as a cause for celebration rather than worry. In a post-ideological world, where all the old moralities are clearly out of date, we have a golden opportunity to redefine and revitalize the very foundations of our lives.iterally starting fresh with ourselves and our relationships to others, and defining fulfillment and success for the individual and for society means understanding the new realities of our basic condition. Until we learn to live by ourselves and withourselves, we will deny ourselves the possibility of finding love and happiness with someone else.

One of the powerful things I found from this piece of profound work was the statement &quot;one is enough unto oneself, and one doesn't require anything else&quot;. Thanks Osho]]></body>

    <![CDATA[The model of the traditional family is breaking down, children barely into their teens are experimenting with sex, and half of all marriages in developed countries end in divorce. In Love, Freedom, and Aloneness Osho explains why these phenomena are happening and how they can actually be viewed as a cause for celebration rather than worry. In a post-ideological world, where all the old moralities are clearly out of date, we have a golden opportunity to redefine and revitalize the very foundations of our lives.iterally starting fresh with ourselves and our relationships to others, and defining fulfillment and success for the individual and for society means understanding the new realities of our basic condition. Until we learn to live by ourselves and withourselves, we will deny ourselves the possibility of finding love and happiness with someone else. This book is a provocation and a guide for that fresh start.]]>

    <![CDATA[Why are so many people nowadays living alone?The model of the traditional family is breaking down, children barely into their teens are experimenting with sex, and half of all marriages in developed countries end in divorce.In this book, Osho explains why these phenomena are happening and how they can actually be viewed as a cause for celebration rather than worry. In a post-ideological world, where all the old moralities are clearly out of date, we have a golden opportunity to redefine and revitalize the very foundations of our lives. We literally have the chance to start afresh with ourselves, our relationships to others, and how we define fulfillment and success for the individual and for society as a whole.Why is it that people who are happy being alone have the best chance to be happy being with someone else?In the modern world, like it or not, freedom is our basic condition and until we learn to live with that freedom, learn to live by ourselves and with ourselves, will we have any possibility of finding love and happiness being together with someone else. Provocative as always, Osho is wise as well as funny, an appealing and commonsensical guide to the complexities if modern life. AUTHORBIO: Osho is one of the best-known and most provocative spiritual teachers of the Twentieth century.Beginning in the 1970s he captured the attention of young people from the West who wanted to experience meditation and transformation.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.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[One of my favorite books so far. I suggest it may be for anyone facing stress. It gives you a great perspective about yourself! I'm definitely buying a copy asap. It's ok to be alone and be in love and love again. And when you're fed up with others, just move on in your own time.]]></body>
