Belief, Doubt, and Fanaticism

Unravel the Hidden Forces Driving Belief, Doubt, and Fanaticism in this Powerful Exploration of the Human Psyche In Belief, Doubt, and Fanaticism: Is It Essential to Have Something to Believe In?, spiritual teacher Osho brings his unique perspective to the religious, political, social and economic forces that drive people into opposing camps, fanatical groups, and belief systems that depend on seeing every "other" as the "enemy." Osho challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness. As one of the greatest spiritual leaders of the twentieth century, Osho addresses the conflicts that arise between people with opposing views and the dangers of losing your individual identity in your desire to belong to a group with shared values. The focus is first and foremost on the individual psyche and consciousness, to identify the root causes and hidden demons of our human need to belong and have something to "believe in." Described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the "1000 Makers of the 20th Century" and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people—along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha—who have changed the destiny of India, Osho's influence continues to expand since his death in 1990, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.
