Relationships shape all aspects of our lives. To truly feel their beauty and richness, we must understand them well. Every connection we have, whether it be with family, friends, or complete strangers, affects who we are and how we live. In What Are You Looking For?, Jiddu Krishnamurti turns his attention towards a crucial aspect of life—human relationships—and uncovers truths about love and relationships that cut beyond culture, time, and religion. From parents to lovers, co-workers to friends, Krishnamurti provides answers to life’s most important concerns and illuminates a way to fully love oneself, others, and the entire universe.
Jiddu Krishnamurti was one of the greatest thinkers of the twentieth century. He was born in Madanapalle, Andhra Pradesh, in 1895 and raised to be a spiritual teacher under Annie Besant and Charles Webster Leadbeater, leaders of the Theosophical Society in Madras. He was made the head of a worldwide organization called the Order of the Star of the East but he eventually disavowed this role and became a peripatetic teacher giving talks all over the world. His speeches confronted the problems of contemporary life and called for a radical and spiritual change in mankind. He died at the age of ninety in Ojai, California, in 1986.
