Quello è il suo problema, ed è anche la sua unicità; quella è la sua buona sorte, ma al tempo stesso è la sua sfortuna. Nessun altro animale sulla Terra ha un problema simile, nessuno deve confrontarsi con una simile ansia, con quella tensione, con quel disagio, con un simile stato patologico; cosa che invece l’essere umano deve fare”. Osho

This books deals with reprogramming of mind first by understanding how does human mind work—how it generate thoughts, and how are negative thoughts generated. The author chanced upon this process and methodology while being on a spiritual exploration in 2015.
