Osho (1931-1990) was one of the twentieth century's most accessible and popular mystics. His works have been published in more than 40 languages, covering everything from the individual's search for happiness to the most pressing social, political, and spiritual concerns of our time.

  • The God Conspiracy
    Not believing, but only experiencing, says Osho in this inspiring book, is a way of finding truth and meaning. While Nietzsche's declaration that "God is dead, therefore man is free" was an incredible step in understanding, he argues, it is in itself a negative solution and does not bring freedom. Simply removing God is not enough. In The God Conspiracy,...

  • Nirvana: The Last Nightmare
    Nirvana: The Last Nightmare has become an idealised word associated with the juxtaposition of a cult rock celebrity who died before his time and a vague new age version of Eastern religion. It is an altered state to be hoped for, but likely unattainable, reinforcing that all too familiar uneasiness associated with never being able to have what we truly...

  • Life Is a Soap Bubble
    Mystics don't usually write books; they speak and work directly with people in a transformational way. Life Is a Soap Bubble is among the few written statements available from enlightened masters or mystics. Lao Tzu's statements of the Tao Te Ching came into being only at the end of his life. In the same way, Osho's books are transcriptions of...
