"Wir alle haben zwar eine Flut von Gedanken in uns, das hei?t aber nicht, dass wir auch denken." Dieses Buch ist ein Pl?doyer f?r «einen unabh?ngigen Geist, unabh?ngiges Denken». Es fordert uns auf, zu hinterfragen, ob wir wirklich unabh?ngig denken. Stammen nicht die meisten unserer Gedanken von anderen, so als h?tten wir ein Computerprogramm voller malware im Kopf? Osho hat von Anfang an gelehrt, dass Meditation keine religi?se ?bung ist, sondern eine wissenschaftliche Methode, um das Wesen des Verstandes und seiner Funktionsweise zu verstehen. Dieser Verstand ist in vieler Hinsicht nicht mehr als eine Maschine, ein Autopilot, der unsere Lebensentscheidungen und Aktivit?ten bestimmt – und keineswegs immer zu unserm Wohl. Als Osho anfing zu lehren, veranstaltete er sogenannte meditation camps. Dieses Buch ist ein Mitschnitt von einem dieser Camps in dem er Meditation als eine Art Virusprogramm einsetzt, das unseren Verstand von den Pr?gungen und Indoktrinationen zu befreien vermag, die uns davon abhalten, unser volles Potenzial zu verwirklichen und gl?cklich zu sein.

Why does music have such a powerful effect on our minds and bodies? It is the most mysterious and most intangible of all forms of art.Yet, Anthony Storr believes, music today is a deeply significant experience for a greater number of people than ever before. In this challenging book, he explores why this should be so. Drawing on a wide variety of opinions, Storr argues that the patterns of music make sense of our inner experience, giving both structure and coherence to our feelings and emotions. It is because music possesses this capacity to restore our sense of personal wholeness in a culture which requires us to separate rational thought from feelings, that many people find it so life-enhancing.
