Summary
Jiddu Krishnamurti: What are you doing with your life?
Although he claimed to belong to no caste, nationality, religion or tradition, Jiddu Krishnamurti was named by Time magazine as one of the five saints of the 20th century, along with the Dalai Lama and Mother Teresa. His teachings have been collected in more than 75 books, translated into 22 languages and sold in more than four million copies worldwide.
Book What are you doing with your life? is a collection of excerpts from Krishnamurti's writings, recorded or transmitted dialogues and public speeches, which do not ultimately provide one-dimensional answers, but encourage thinking about possible solutions to new, big questions - like the one in the title itself. In short, clearly articulated and extremely powerful fragments, Krishnamurti manages to shake all the stable coordinates that various authorities place before the individual, and at the same time remains alone at the level of the interlocutor, constantly questioning key questions about himself and being, but also about love, desire, drive, intellect, loneliness, boredom.
