In ancient Greece or Rome, philosophers were seen as natural authorities on the most pressing questions. However, since then, the idea of finding wisdom from philosophy has come to seem bizarre. Enter a university department today and ask to study wisdom, and you will politely but firmly be shown the door. The Consolations of Philosophy sets out to refute the notion that good philosophy must be irrelevant and gathers together six great philosophers who were convinced of the power of philosophical insight to work a practical effect on our lives.

In Beyond Happiness, Bayda draws on Zen teachings to question our conventional notions about what happiness is and where we can find it. Most of us seek happiness in things that are external to us. We imagine that getting more money, a better relationship, or going on a nice vacation will finally make us happy. But Bayda shows us that the deepest and most lasting form of happiness does not rely on external circumstance at all.

मृत्यु के बाद क्या होता है, इससे कहीं अधिक सार्थकता एवं प्रासंगिकता इस तथ्य की है कि मृत्यु से पहले के तमामा वर्ष हमने कैसे जिये हैं। मन-मस्तिष्क में समाये अतीत के समस्त संग्रहों, दुख-सुख के अनुभवों, घावों, आशाओं-निराशाओं और कुंठाओं के प्रति पूर्ण रूप से मरे बगैर हम जीवन को तभी ताज़ी-नूतन आँखों से नहीं देख सकते। मरना कोई दूर भविष्य में होने वाली डरावनी घटना न होकर इस क्षण होने वाली नवीनीकरण की प्रक्रिया है। जीवन और मृत्यु की विभाजक रेखा को ध्वस्त करती यह थीमबुक जे. कृष्णमूर्ति के अप्रीतम वचनों का एक अपूर्व संकलन है।

In this Hindi-language translation of The First and Last Freedom, Krishnamurti emphasises on the importance of self-understanding, arguing that truth cannot be found within formal institutions, organised religions and their dogmas or in any guru or outside authority. He claims that we are all operating with the sole focus of the self and its context in time and place - this results in competition, conflict and the constant promotion of one's own self over all others, even those closest to us.

सोचने-विचारने से अपनी समस्याएं हल हो जाएंगी ऐसा मनुष्य का विश्वास रहा है, परंतु वास्तविकता यह है कि विचार पहले तो स्वयं समस्याएं पैदा करता है, और फिर अपनी ही पैदा की गई समस्याओं को हल करने में उलझ जाता है। एक बात और, विचार करना एक भौतिक प्रक्रिया है। कृष्णमूर्ति स्पष्ट करते हैं कि स्वतंत्रता का, मुक्ति का तात्पर्य है व्यक्ति के मस्तिष्क पर आरोपित इस 'नियोजन' से, इस 'प्रोग्राम' से मुक्त

दुनिया भर के दार्शनिकों में सुकरात का विशिष्‍ट स्थान है। उनमें सोचने-समझने की क्षमता थी और वह सत्य एवं न्याय की खोज के प्रति दृढ़-संकल्प थे। वह मानते थे कि एक बेहतर विश्‍व की कल्पना तभी साकार हो सकती है, जब लोग समझदार एवं बुद्धिमान हों। हमें किसी दूसरे के विचारों को यूँ ही स्वीकार नहीं कर लेना चाहिए, बल्कि उनको आलोचनात्मक तर्क की कसौटी पर परखना चाहिए।.
