What Are You Doing with Your Life?

Jiddu Krishnamurti was a philosopher and teacher who spent his life questioning how people think and live. This collection gathers his guidance on the questions that tend to press on everyone: who we are, what we want, how we relate to others, and how to cope with anxiety and loneliness. Rather than offering a doctrine, he invites readers to look closely at their own minds and assumptions. He argues that no guru, tradition or outside authority can provide the answer, and that each person must take responsibility for how they choose to live. The result is a challenging, practical read for anyone asking what their life is for.
