Being in Love: How to Love with Awareness and Relate Without Fear

I would highly recommend it. It validates what I already feel but Osho puts it all so elegantly. If you are not already a very forward, out of the box thinker, be prepared to stretch yourself. If you are already familiar with Osho you know what I'm talking about so yes get this book. If you are unfamiliar with Osho and want to really hear the truth that will set you free, purchase this work. I only wish it were in paperback so I could get that one and mark it up as it is a compilation to be studied and remembered. Get this for your partner, get it for a friend, get it for you.

With Osho be prepared to stretch your mind to some degree. He is a visionary and speaks volumes on the truths of love. This book helped me re-work and even throw out a lot of long held ideas I had about love. It helped me to see how limited my stories and beliefs had kept me and how I was the one in my own way, not any lovers of the past as I had imagined. Highly recommend.

OSHO's new book is what I feel to be a continuation of Love, Freedom and Aloneness. His view of love is revolutionary and eye opening. I love his way of making points through stories that are funny and aspiring. His idea of love is universal, and not limited to only one type of love like that of a mother, son, or wife. In truth he talks about loving each individual on the basis of love itself not on the title that person has in ones life. A must read for anyone willing to discover a new way to love without limitations and conditionality's.

Firstly, if you aggressively believe you know what love is, don’t bother getting this book. It’s for the humble mind and soul that’s seeking to learn (or unlearn) their theories of love. Proceed with openness and courage. Being familiar with Osho’s catalogue, I purchased this book in agreement with a friend who needed a new theory of love; because I believe that you cannot practice the art of love without a theory of it. Many of us are practicing with an insufficient or ineffective theory of love. Personally, I needed a revision to my theory of love, and this is book is undeniably informative. Osho, per usual, delivers much of his ideas and concepts through the vehicle of poetry while also serving as a cultural critic in our “love” exploits. He’s unforgivingly vulgar at times; in others, very subliminal. The layout hints at a conversational style as throughout the book he is merely replying to questions from audience members. It’s a fluid read, but it also demands some intermittent reflection to truly understand the meanings in his yogic rants. Many of the ideas are radical; sometimes absurd; provocative; but surprisingly sensible. His messages imply that love should make you conscious, mature, courageous, joyful, alive, creative, and independent when in the air of an exclusive relationship. If you adhere to any religion, and your convictions are strong, you may want to temper your beliefs before reading to avoid some cognitive dissonance. Osho taps on topics of sex, intimacy, parenting, personal growth, gender roles, gender equality, marriage, tradition and religion, soul vs. ego, and emotional wellness. Some of his metaphors are inconsistent at times, which invoked some confusion (I’m also a poet). Still, many of the concepts and ideas are protrusive enough to inspire serious consideration. Overall, there is a wealth of ideas to integrate into your personal theories of love. Many of them are worthy of informing our personal goals and shaping our practice in being loving and being loved. The contents challenge you to unlearn or at least critically assess your inherited cultural views and personal experiences of love. Just when you believe you know what love is, this book prances along and sings “think again”! It’s a book that deserves several reads over the life span. While there’s no obligation to agree with everything that’s in this book, I recommend considering that perhaps your knowledge and wisdom is fallible. Positively life-changing!

This book will push you out of your comfort zone while reading. It will make you fall into deep thought about the way you're living and the way you've gone about through life. At times it may sound too preachy but the main insights are absolutely life changing. The book focuses on love but will give you tips for an overall happier soul. Enjoy :)

This book here, it like several rays of sunshine is beaming ALL over me. I now have a better understanding of love and how to love. So many of us really don't know what love is, myself included. It will tremendously change how we define the concepts of love. Osho seems to have great wisdom. I'm definitely reading more of his books.

It gave me a lot of new awareness and distinctions about my feelings, emotions and thoughts. I think this book is really great for anyone hence only a few understands the real meaning of love. I found out that some of what people describe about him are not something i would agree with but we never really know what he really meant without knowing the whole context. Yet his books have a lot of wisdom.

osho has some marvelous insights into love relationships... unusual for an "eastern mystic." he seems to understand the complexity of the issues... I have benefited immensely from his work while going through some challenging relationship issues.... his writing is simple and straightforward; easy to understand... a great book to share with a partner... will especially benefit people who are familiar with eastern meditation and mysticism

I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone who is single, couple, or married to get this book. It gives a much greater understanding of what love is.

I have read many many many many books and this book is by far the best book iv ever read in my whole life !!! It’s a pure gem. If you are interested in authentic relationships and communication and you are interested in embodying your spiritual insights in your relationships then look no further !!! A lot of wisdom packed in this book and could seriously change your life if you contemplate and also work on it deep enough !!!
