On Fear

I just added this book to my course list for History of Fear Seminar next fall because even though it can be read in less than two hours, the thought it provokes lasts much longer. One does not have to agree with every aspect of Krishnamurti's beliefs -- e.g., I felt that his elimination of the present in fear was a bit too glib. I do think under certain circumstances, people do feel fear in the present, although I agree with him that past or future fear is magnified because of experiences. I also disagree with his 'elimination' of God, but that does not in the least undermine this series of major speeches and quotations that illuminate what humans experience in the face of fear. It is written beautifully so that anyone can understand - you do not need to be a philosopher, physician, or psychologist.

The DEPTH, Brevity, Simplicity and Overall MESSAGE speaks clearly to those who are looking for its message... In short, DONT READ THIS BOOK- Unless you're a practicing enthusiast of something bigger than your Everyday. If your entrepreneur- who needs some guidance MAYBE... But a Man nay Woman whom wants to be More than what they can be? This Book is 4 you! 'Thank you!' REGARDS. ~ Gil Franklin

The book arrived as stated in the description. Very good customer service.AC

Really like all his books.. worth reading.

This is very nice book on very complex problem of human race.irrespective of any race ,religion ,nationality or any culture we belong this book highlights the problem from very root level. The language may be little bit complex for few readers due to baised conditioning of religious or spiritual back grounds. But one most read this to have different outlook for problem of fear .

I am an avid fan of Krishnamurti's work. So 5 stars from me is no surprise. His work makes me stop and think - something I need more of in this hectic world of ours. Thus, I read it in small, savory bites.

A must read if you are already familiar with Krishnamurti's teachings. As the compilation progresses, the subject of fear is addressed in different ways so if you explore along with him and observe, perception takes place.

I like the clarity as to how K explains such a complex problem. Amazing insight into a fundamental problem. Life changing.

Muito grato por ter a oportunidade de ter contato com esse conhecimento.

A must read for everyone.

Helps to understand the fears of life. J Krishnamurthy also helps the readers to get out their fears without any escapes.I would specially recommend this book for young reader who are starting their career.

Es un compilado de intervenciones/entrevistas/discursos de Krishnamurti a lo largo de los años sobre el tema del miedo, en general es bueno, pero después de la mitad se vuelve repetitivo, creo que eso no depende tanto del autor sino de la manera en cómo está organizado el libro. Compralo sólo si te gusta mucho el autor, de lo contrario no pasa nada sino lo compras.

So clear yet so simple, how foolish we are.
