Osho Insights for a new way of living
Creativity: Unleashing the Forces Within
As Osho points out in the foreward to this book, historically, the creative person has been all but forced to rebel against the society.
But nowadays, the situation has dramatically changed. In today's world, the ability to respond creatively to new challenges is demanded of everybody, from corporate CEOs to "soccer moms." Those whose toolbox for dealing with life includes only what they have learned in the past from their parents and their teachers are at a distinct disadvantage both in their relationships and in their careers. Making a switch from imitative and rule-bound behavior to creative innovation and flexibility requires a profound change in our attitudes about ourselves and our capabilities.
Creativity is a handbook for those who understand the need to bring more creativity, playfulness, and flexibility to their lives. It's a manual for thinking "outside the box"-and learning to live there as well.

About the author
Osho
4,379 books6,916 followersRajneesh (born Chandra Mohan Jain, 11 December 1931 – 19 January 1990) and latter rebranded as Osho was leader of the Rajneesh movement. During his lifetime he was viewed as a controversial new religious movement leader and mystic.
In the 1960s he traveled throughout India as a public speaker and was a vocal critic of socialism, Mahatma Gandhi, and Hindu religious orthodoxy.
Rajneesh emphasized the importance of meditation, mindfulness, love, celebration, courage, creativity and humor—qualities that he viewed as being suppressed by adherence to static belief systems, religious tradition and socialization.
In advocating a more open attitude to human sexuality he caused controversy in India during the late 1960s and became known as "the sex guru".
In 1970, Rajneesh spent time in Mumbai initiating followers known as "neo-sannyasins". During this period he expanded his spiritual teachings and commented extensively in discourses on the writings of religious traditions, mystics, and philosophers from around the world. In 1974 Rajneesh relocated to Pune, where an ashram was established and a variety of therapies, incorporating methods first developed by the Human Potential Movement, were offered to a growing Western following. By the late 1970s, the tension between the ruling Janata Party government of Morarji Desai and the movement led to a curbing of the ashram's development and a back taxes claim estimated at $5 million.
In 1981, the Rajneesh movement's efforts refocused on activities in the United States and Rajneesh relocated to a facility known as Rajneeshpuram in Wasco County, Oregon. Almost immediately the movement ran into conflict with county residents and the state government, and a succession of legal battles concerning the ashram's construction and continued development curtailed its success.
In 1985, in the wake of a series of serious crimes by his followers, including a mass food poisoning attack with Salmonella bacteria and an aborted assassination plot to murder U.S. Attorney Charles H. Turner, Rajneesh alleged that his personal secretary Ma Anand Sheela and her close supporters had been responsible. He was later deported from the United States in accordance with an Alford plea bargain.[
After his deportation, 21 countries denied him entry. He ultimately returned to India and a revived Pune ashram, where he died in 1990. Rajneesh's ashram, now known as OSHO International Meditation Resort and all associated intellectual property, is managed by the Zurich registered Osho International Foundation (formerly Rajneesh International Foundation). Rajneesh's teachings have had a notable impact on Western New Age thought, and their popularity has increased markedly since his death.

Quỷên Osho thứ 3 đọc được. Hiệu qả thì đọc xong 0 biết sáng tạo thêm được bao nhiêu, mà thấy ngày càng mông lung thêm.
Trong quỷên này, ổng có nói về một cách trị liệu tinh thần phổ biến - thời của ổng chắc cũng hồi tui mới chào đời. Trị liệu bằng nghệ thuật, là vẽ hoặc viết. Nếu bức vẽ là sự sáng tạo qá mức thì đó là bãi nôn của tác giả khi cần thoát khỏi những bức bối bị gom tụ nhiều nguồn. Người xem nhìn nhiều sẽ khó chịu, ổng nói vậy.
Và chuyện sáng tạo là cửa ra của god gửi gắm vào nhân loại chứ 0 phải bản thân người đó phát tiết tài năng tự thân. Oh man!

July 11, 2021Luồng tư tưởng này giống như một xoáy nước lạ, khi đắm chìm vào thì chỉ muốn trôi sâu mãi xuống dưới để khám phá cho bằng hết. Con người trong đây hiện ra vừa tự do và cũng vừa bé nhỏ, chỉ cần buông xuôi theo dòng chảy cuộc đời, lắng nghe những gửi gắm từ tạo hóa mà sống. Đọc lên đơn giản mà làm được thì trước giờ có được mấy ai.

Mình rất thích đọc sách của Osho và có lẽ Osho là nhà triết học mình yêu thích nhất. Sách của ông hàm chứa kiến thức rất nhiều nhưng không quá khô khan. Nói có hứng thú với triết học thì hãy nhớ đến cuốn sách này của Osho nhé!

Cuốn sách có rất nhiều điều đúng và ý nghĩa. Tuy nhiên, tôi vẫn kh đồng tình với 1 số quan điểm của tác giả về thượng đê , nhưng chung quy lại, là do tôi khoogn theo đạo.
Cuốn sách rất hay, sống tĩnh tại , an yên.

Sách đọc hơi chán, lòng vòng và trình bày ý tưởng thua cuốn Can đảm cùng tác giả OSHO.

Cuốn sách hay nói về sáng tạo và cách áp dụng nó vào cuộc sống
January 31, 2019
Bất cứ hoạt động bạn làm với tình yêu thương và bằng cả trái tim đó chính là sáng tạo.
Để cho sự sáng tạo tuôn chảy trong bạn.
Đọc những dòng của Osho tưởng như đọc một tác phẩm nghệ thuật.
