In 1950, Krishnamurti said: “If we are concerned with our own lives, if we understand our relationship with others, we will have created a new society; otherwise, we will but perpetuate the present chaotic mess and confusion.”

This is one of a series of theme books put together from Krishnamurti’s talks and writings. Providing a far-reaching basis for solving many of the world’s crises, the book brings together Krishnamurti’s most essential teachings on the individual’s relationship to other people, to society, and to life itself. The renowned teacher makes it clear that the way we handle personal crises and relationships links us to the problems of all people and has a larger, global meaning.
