OSHO's - The Book Of Secrets

_________________

Osho's Book of Secrets (Tantra)

"These techniques will not mention any religious ritual. No temple is needed, you are quite enough of a temple yourself. You are the lab; the whole experiment is to go on within you. This is not religion, this is science. No belief is needed. Only a daringness to experiment is enough; courage to experiment is enough.


These 112 methods are for the whole of humanity-for all the ages that have passed, and for all the ages that have yet to come. I will go on describing each method from as many angles as possible. If you feel any affinity with it, play with it for three days. If you feel that it fits, that something clicks in you, continue it for three months.
Life is a miracle. If you have not known its mystery, that only shows that you do not know the technique for how to approach it." --Osho

In this comprehensive and practical guide, the secrets of the ancient science of Tantra become available to a contemporary audience for the first time. Confined to small, hidden mystery schools for centuries, and often misunderstood and misinterpreted today. Tantra is not just a collection of techniques to enhance sexual experience. As Osho shows in these pages, it is a complete science of self-realizatoin, based on the cumulative wisdom of centuries of exploration into the meaning of life and consciousness. Tantra-the very word means "technique"-is a set of powerful, transformative tools that can be used to bring new meaning andjoy to every aspect of our daily lives.

50 Self Help Classics Inspirational Books

____________



50 Self Help Classics Inspirational Books To Transform Your Life:

A conventional view of self-help is that it deals with problems, but most of the self-help classics are about possibilities. They can help reveal your unique course in life, form a bridge between fear and happiness, or simply inspire you to be a better person. Self-help is not about the fantasies of the ego, but involves the identification of a project, goal, ideal, or way of being where you can make a big difference. In so doing, you can transform a piece of the world and yourself along with it.

Thousands of books have been written offering the 'secrets' to personal fulfilment and happiness. But which ones can really change your life? Tom Butler-Bowdon has sorted through the bewildering array of choices to bring 50 of the most important life-changing ideas together in this one book. From the second-century meditations of Marcus Aurelius to Stephen Covey, Buddha to Deepak Chopra, and Thoreau to Ayn Rand, Butler-Bowdon summarises each writer's key ideas. 50 Self-Help Classics clarifies how insights from these legendary works can educate and motivate anyone searching for the inspiration to make a meaningful life change. The classics examined here represent the very best of self-help—works that have captured the imagination of millions and inspired readers everywhere to follow their dreams.

"A tremendous resource for anyone seeking a 'bite-sized' look at the philosophies of many self-help legends."
--Stephen Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
