We live in a culture and generation that is obsessed with avoiding old age. This book by Osho raises a question that we all try to ignore. Why do we have a problem with ageing gracefully? Why do we want to hold on to youth and its pleasure till the day we die? Osho has taken us back to the roots of the importance of growing up rather than just growing old. He tells us about the pleasures that only maturity can bring in our relationships and in fulfilling our own destinies. He highlights ten major growth cycles in human life. These range from the self-centered universe of the preschooler to the wisdom and compassion of old age. As you read the book, you can find traces of Osho?s sense of humour. You will also have an understanding of how it is easy for us to be distracted from the deeper meaning and purpose in our lives.Osho is an Indian mystic, guru and spiritual teacher. His international following has continued even after his death. He was controversial because of his outspoken criticism of politicians, institutionalized religion and Mahatma Gandhi.
