Publisher Description

Drawn from a number of Krishnamurti's talks and dialogues, Freedom From the Known explores many of the central themes of his teaching. The chapters include: Learning About Ourselves, Pursuit of Pleasure, Justification and Condemnation, and the Dissipation of Energy.

Krishnamurti writes, To understand and to be free of any problem we need a great deal of passionate and sustained energy, not only physical and intellectual energy but an energy that is not dependent on any motive, psychological stimulus or drug.

"I recommend this book as a book you read all-at-once, as in on a plane or in the home in a single sitting. It's hard to articulate, but I found a satisfying contentedness after reading this book front-to-back that is rarely found. It's been nearly five years since I've read it. "

    " Basic Eastern and existential thought taught in a simple way. A good summary of Buddhism, absurdism and others put into digestible terms, and a solid foundation for action, but with too much of a self-help bend for my taste, and plus, it's really nothing I didn't already know. "

    " Krishnamurti is pretty much a genius. This is one of his best, but they're all good, (although I'll admit, they get a little repetitive). "

    " that i am not alone in seeing that knowledge keeps us from experiencing the mysterious now this second that is the brink of your life.the past cannot be the present but we decay from their intermingling haha "

    " Great book...has played critical role at my 14 . P.S :If you're expecting a self help book (becuz of stereotypes abt mediation & etc...) ...wrong place to search. "

    " the limits of thoughts and what lies beyond thoughts. Krishnamurti seems to be aware of something that goes beyond the known, what has been accumulated in ones memories. "

    " Im starting it and I found it really intereting and captivating. Something you wouldnt find in everyone's shelves...It makes you think, it makes you doubt,makes you ask your self about yourself.Definitely something different from regular readings. "
