prophet 's review for:

Freedom from the Known by J. Krishnamurti
2.0

I couldn't finish this book. You could probably read only the first chapter and get the gist of what Krishnamurti is trying to say. Our preconceptions can be dangerous, we should be careful / thoughtful of the words we use, and all words are an inadequate description of real life.

Instead of reading this book, I recommend meditating for an hour a day. You'll come to the same conclusions with the additional benefit of a calmer mind and hopefully less pretention.
