Reviews

""Education and the Significance of Life "is extremely though-provoking and most refreshing. This book is not to be just read and put aside: it is to be deeply pondered."-- "The Theosophist""Here is a remarkable philosophy of education and of peace...."Education and the Significance of Life "is an excellent book, one that should be read carefully by parents and teachers."-- "Fellowship""The reader is given in one paragraph, often in one sentence, enough to keep him exploring, questioning, thinking for days. In this sense, "Education and the Significance of Life "is both creative and challenging...the greatest value of this book lies in Krishnamurti's insight, both psychological and mystical, into man himself and his relationships."-- Anne Morrow Lindbergh
