"Krishnamurti was a popular and influential spiritual teacher who taught that truth could not be discovered by following any ideology, institution, or leader, but through looking deeply at one's own experience. In this new book, he teaches us that remembering and dwelling on past events, whether pleasurable or painful, causes us to suffer. Thoughts and memories only prevent us from meeting the challenges of life directly in each new moment. By learning to be attentive and clear in our perceptions, we find freedom."
