Accepting Myself the Way I Am

Would you try another book from OSHO and/or OSHO?

Absolutely not. The first 20 minutes of this was well enough to realize what this guy says is a crock and will only negatively impact me.

What could OSHO have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

He was a radical spiritualist who had his own unique perspective but in my opinion, to say "your family and community leaders are your biggest enemies to emotional growth" and discredit Jesus and Buddah as hindrances to personal growth was so painful to hear in a fragile emotional state. I came looking for strength and found disparaging remarks about loved ones and lost hope.

Have you listened to any of OSHO’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I purchased the one about how to cope with being lonely but was as equally unimpressed by his words in the first 30 minutes or so.

What character would you cut from Accepting Myself the Way I Am?

Cold. Condemning. Sacrilegious.

Any additional comments?

"You have a choice to either be your authentic self and be shunned by society or be who they want you to be and be miserable forever." That UNTRUE phrase stuck in my head for a week like a bad head cold and initiated a LOT of depression and self doubt. There is nothing about this book that will make you accept who you are, but rather a path to following who I believe is a bad man.

There are jokes I never would have expected in a book like this. One was about nuns being raped; others were about sex. They ruined the whole presentation. Won't be buying any more Osho.
