Naval Ravikant mentioned The Great Challenge by Osho 26 times

Popper, Deutsch, Schopenhauer, Osho, Krishnamurti, DeMello, Seneca, Kapil Gupta, Taleb, there are too many...

Eastern philosophy, I’ll read everything from Osho. I know he’s discredited and been canceled, but fantastic—that makes me like him even more.

Anthony de Mello, The Way to Love, Osho’s book The Great Challenge, and I know people think Osho is a fake guru and all that, but he had some real stuff too. He’s very articulate. He understood a lot.

Try Osho. He gets a bad rap but is a much easier read.

— Naval Ravikant

Hard on Twitter. You can read DeMello, J Krishnamurti, Jed McKenna, Michael Singer, Rupert Spira, Osho, Tolle, etc.. Different ones appeal to different people.

“The Great Challenge.”

— Naval Ravikant

Nihilism is the product of straight, cold reasoning with no illusions. Non-dualism is best experienced via a serious meditation practice. See @KapilGuptaMD, Jed McKenna, Osho, Schopenhauer, Anthony DeMello, Eckhart Tolle, Michael Singer.

I'm pretty much always rereading something by either Jiddu Krishnamurti or Osho. Those are kind of my favorite for other philosophers.

At the moment, the most interesting ones for me are Jed McKenna, @KapilGuptaMD, Osho, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Anthony DeMello and Rupert Spira.

Closest would be Osho and @KapilGuptaMD . Very different styles but they’re all extreme iconoclasts.

Matt Ridley, Neal Stephenson, Taleb, Borges, Ted Chiang, Anthony DeMello, Osho, J Krishnamurti, Harari, Asimov, Bradbury, Greg Egan, Feynman, Schrödinger, Bohr, Chris Alexander, the Durants, Darwin, Adam Smith, David Deutsch, Karl Popper, Douglas Hofstader, Douglas Adams

Osho, Anthony DeMello, Michael Singer, and Jed McKenna are all a lot more approachable.

— Naval Ravikant

I didn’t know what to make of Watts either. He translates East to West pretty well, but Osho, Krishnamurti, de Mello, Lao Tzu, Upanishads, Vedic texts all feel more “real” to me.

— Naval Ravikant

Too many. But read Osho, Krishnamurti, DeMello, Michael Singer, and @KapilGuptaMD

— Naval Ravikant

“The Book of Life.” He is a hard read. Osho is much easier, can try “The Great Challenge.”

— Naval Ravikant

“The Great Challenge” and “The Book of Life.”

— Naval Ravikant

I’ve read Watts, thanks. He’s extremely eloquent but for whatever reason, I get more out of Osho and Krishnamurti.

— Naval Ravikant

Add Carlo Rovelli, Will and Ariel Durant, Osho, Ted Chiang, Cixin Liu, Taleb, Kevin Simler to this:

— Naval Ravikant

It is a tough read. Osho is more straightforward.

— Naval Ravikant

Best classic book philosophy, intro, someone starting out? I love Siddhartha, Herman Hesse’s book. For someone who’s more advanced, Jiddu Krishnamurti; I like his Total Freedom book. Osho’s Great Challenge, Michael Singer’s Untethered Soul. Marcus Aurelius, Meditations.

And read Osho.

"The Great Challenge"

Great read but beginner fare. Go straight to J Krishnamurti or Osho...

— Naval Ravikant

Krishnamurti was incredibly influential on me. When I first read him in my late thirties, it was like a bomb went off in my head. He was speaking in a language that was completely removed from my own. He wrote in a very complex form of English where he used certain words in a way that didn't line up with what I had learned over my entire life. But it had the feel of truth to it. He laid out a clear, consistent, and integrated philosophy of what it means to be conscious and free. That said, it's a very advanced read. I've given Krishnamurti to some of my friends and they just hand it back and tell me that it didn't make any sense to them. I think it's better to start with something simpler like Eckart Tolle, Adyashanti, Jed McKenna, or Osho.

Total Freedom by J Krishnamurti. Anything by Osho.
