One of the greatest spiritual leaders of the 20th century encourages us to embrace the wisdom and sweetness that the years of life grant us as we move towards maturity.

In a world centered around youth and eager to avoid aging at all costs, this book dares to ask a question that has almost been forgotten in the age of Viagra and plastic surgery. What can the acceptance of the aging process as a natural process offer us, instead of trying to maintain youth and its pleasures until the grave?

Osho explains what it means to grow older rather than just aging. Both in our relationships and in fulfilling our own destiny, he reminds us of the joys that only true maturity can provide. He describes the ten cycles of development in human life, from the egocentric universe of a preschool child to the blossoming of wisdom and compassion in old age.

Osho's witty sense of humor runs like a common thread throughout the book, along with deep empathy and an understanding of how easy it is to become disoriented from the deeper meaning and purpose of life – which is, ultimately, to celebrate and enjoy every precious moment of ours.

The Insights series – A vision for a new way of life sheds light on beliefs and behaviors that prevent individuals from being their true selves. With an intelligent blend of compassion and humor, Osho encourages the reader to confront what they would most like to avoid – which exactly provides the key to true awareness and power.
