Intelligence Is Not What You Think

I must admit, I am an Osho addict! It's rare that you find someone who truly has an understanding of what intelligence is. Osho puts it in a way for everyone to comprehend, ESPECIALLY artists, and that's why I continue to read his books. He doesn't add all the unnecessary language that most people wouldn't grasp. At the same time, he opens your eyes and really gets you to think and become aware of your actions. Now I know that responding to now is a much more effective approach to any situation than finding answers through your memory which may be outdated. Once again, Osho has opened another door...!

Quite amazing ...

It is very difficult to see good books on topics such as "Intelligence" and "Intuition". I have read many (well written & researched) books that talk about workbook techniques to increase one's intelligence. But, their syllabus like content makes them rather uninteresting to read and I have never been able to sustain my interest in them beyond a couple of days. This book will not tell you about techniques to build intelligence because intelligence is innate. It'll help you rediscover it, understand it and ultimately use it. Intelligence is very liberating, it helps removes all dependencies and quell agonies from the past and worries of the future. The book will also define and describe the real meaning (and manifestation) of ubiquitous terms like simple, simplicity and personality. The book is like a narration and there is some repetition, but even the repetition makes compulsive reading. I won't say that this is the best book that I've ever read, but it is certainly the most enlightening and eye-opening.

Intelligence

Difficult at best to put down once you begin - the words maybe from Osho but the meaning comes from beyond them - each page spoke to my soul - his humor mixed with his message is so easy to grasp.

Can't go wrong with Osho!!

Great Book, if you love Osho's discourses, you will love this book.

Intelligence by Osho

The author deals with a complicated subject very simply. He givesgreat credit to animals for the intuitive reasoning that theypossess in the conduct of daily life. According to Osho, intelligence is not per se subject to precise measurement.In addition, there are conditions which impede intellectualrationalizations and applications. For instance, great stresscan inhibit our ability to function meaningfully on the creative or intuitive level. The author gives credence to the notion that relaxation methodologies; such as, formal meditationprovide the requisite environment for the creative side of ourintelligence to flourish and grow. The book provides a freshperspective on what constitutes intelligence and creativity.It would be appealing to a wide constituency of readers inbusiness, academe and the general readership.It is a good value for the price charged.
