Compiled with younger audiences in mind, this book offers an accessible introduction to many themes of Krishnamurti’s work such as Relationships, Love, Work, Fear, and Loneliness. What is the significance of life? What is the purpose of life? Why do you even ask such a question? The challenge, Krishnamurti suggests, is to have a mind that is youthful, flexible, and full of vitality through the course of one's life. This book offers an exploration of the importance of self-understanding, learning, and intelligence. In times of rapid scientific and technological advancement, has our understanding of ourselves grown at all? The societies we build and are a part of are still fraught with chaos, confusion, misery and war. Growing up in these times, what are you to do? Is the course of your life determined by patterns of the past? Is there a way to live differently? What is the significance of life? What is the purpose of life? Why do you ask such a question? You ask this question when, in you, there is chaos, and about you there is confusion, uncertainty. Being uncertain, you want something to be certain. You want a certain purpose in life, a definite goal, because in yourself you are uncertain.

This book is the second and last volume in a series that presents a collection of dialogues in which renowned educator and religious teacher J. Krishnamurti explores with parents and teachers the need for a radical approach to schooling and their intention to establish such a school in the Ojai valley in California. They discuss the conditioning effects on children and educators of teaching and environments in schools based on traditional methods of education. They look at the stultifying effects of knowledge-based approaches which, instead of broadening the minds of children in a setting that encourages observation and creativity, conditions them to conform to society. To free the mind's broader potential and to educate the whole human being they see that there must be right relationship between students and teachers in an atmosphere of attention, care and trust.

Individual & Society: A Study Book of the Teachings of J. Krishnamurti

A series of Study Books was produced in the 1990s for use as concentrated study material on a particular topic at the four-day dialogue weekends held in Ojai, California. Editors utilized the CD-ROM to compile an extensive collection of excerpts for each theme-which range from one sentence in length to an entire talk-and they have organized them into chapters of subsidiary topics. These books are an invaluable resource of excerpted material as they offer a sustained survey of each subject, allowing for a deeper comprehension of what Krishnamurti was conveying. Much of the material has been drawn from the Collected Works of J. Krishnamurti, Vols. I-XVII, the record of Krishnamurti's public talks from 1933 to 1967.
