Mentors Who Have Inspired Me 

Mentor #2: OSHO

 

Last month, I posted an article about how to find a mentor, which inspired me to create a series of posts about my own mentors. The first installment was about the spiritual author Wayne Dyer. This post is also about a spiritual mentor with a series of books and meditations, but he is someone who I had the privilege of meeting and studying with in person: OSHO.

You might know him from his documentary on Netflix, but I know him from my time spent living in India. While there, I practiced and studied under OSHO and his disciples at a meditation retreat in Pune, but I had been reading his teachings for much longer. Not only does he have a great beard (I may be a bit biased here), but he’s a leader in unconventional thinking, not following the status quo, and getting to the root of who you are  – not who society raised you to be. Want to learn more?

Here are 3 OSHO books I recommend:

The Book of Secrets:

This book is a great introduction to meditation. In it, OSHO lists 112 different types of meditation. Not only is it a comprehensive and practical guide, but it will help you find the style of meditation that’s right for you.

 

The Books I Have Loved:

While OSHO has never actually “written” a book (everything is transcribed from his speaking), he is extremely well-read. He’s also surprisingly humorous for a meditation guru. This book lists 168 titles, broken down into multiple lists of his “favorite books.”

 

Tao: The Pathless Path:

If you know me, you know that Taoism plays heavily into my leadership style, and this book provides a different perspective on being open to everything, attached to nothing. Tao: The Pathless Path is a great read if you’re looking to take a deeper dive into the philosophical side of things.
