Produktbeschreibung
"Life Ahead" presents lessons that move far beyond the traditional forms of education taught in most schools and colleges. Drawn from transcripts of talks given to Indian students, the book covers a wide range of universal topics. In short, accessible chapters, Krishnamurti explores the danger of competition, the value of solitude, the need to understand both the conscious and the unconscious mind, and the critical difference between concentration and attention, and between knowledge and learning. Krishnamurti exposes the roots of fear and eradicates deeply entrenched habits of tradition, limitation, and prejudice. The life he holds forth requires a complete change of thought, even a revolution, one that begins "not with theory and ideation," he writes, "but with a radical transformation in the mind itself." He explains how such transformation occurs only through an education that concentrates on the total development of the human being, an education carefully described in this simple yet powerful book.

Autorenporträt
One of the great spiritual philosophers of our time, Jiddu Krishnamurti was born in 1895 in Andhra Pradesh, India, to middle-class Brahmin parents. When he was fourteen, members of the Theosophical Society, a Western spiritual movement that combined Eastern and Western religious traditions, found him walking on a beach and became convinced they had found the new World Teacher. Subsequently, theosophist Annie Besant adopted him and raised him in England. By the 1920s he was attracting worldwide press attention and audiences of thousands. In 1929, after an awakening and much self-questioning, he abandoned the Theosophical Society and set out on his own, teaching a philosophy bound by no caste, nationality, religion, or tradition. For more than sixty years, Krishnamurti traveled the world speaking to millions. His talks and writings have been preserved in over seventy books. He died in 1986 in Ojai, California.
