Maturity

In a culture that worships youth and wants to avoid old age at any cost, Osho raises the question of what we can gain if we treat the process of aging as natural, instead of clinging to youth—what charms does this process have on the path to death? Osho sends us back to the very foundations of what it means to grow rather than to get old. In our relationships with others, and in pursuing our desires, Osho reminds us of the joys that only true maturity can bring. He outlines ten main cycles of growth in a person’s life—from the egocentric universe of a preschool child to understanding how easily you can lose the meaning and goal in life, and ultimately to the flowering of our individual uniqueness and maturity, in which we celebrate life and enjoy it.

Osho calls on readers to look at their lives in a new way, to free themselves from stereotyped thinking and prejudices that bind a person and prevent them from enjoying life in all its fullness.
