The Magic of Self-Esteem - Osho

The Magic of Self-Esteem Author: Osho Publisher: Pergaminho Literary Genre: Personal Development Book Condition: Very Good Synopsis “‘Respect’ is one of the most beautiful words I know. It does not carry the meaning of ‘honor, dignity’ that it has acquired over time. Respect simply means to respect—that is, to look back, to take into account. It means nothing more than to look again. Before becoming part of a society, a culture, or a civilization, you knew your true self.” Much of our daily existence is shaped by religious and social conditioning—conditioning of which we are unaware and which may remain unknown throughout our entire lives. Throughout these pages, Osho reveals how such conditioning operates, how it distances us from our unique and irreplaceable nature, and how it leads us to assume an identity that is not truly ours. We spend much of our lives without knowing who we really are; thus, how could we ever develop genuine self-esteem? True self-esteem, Osho teaches, begins with self-discovery; if we do not discover who we truly are, we can never truly like ourselves or assert ourselves in the world. For this process of discovery, it is necessary to confront and challenge the false identities imposed upon us by social, religious, and political institutions. This is a difficult challenge—but if we do not undertake it, we will never truly be living our own lives.
