About this book

"When you don't search for happiness, happiness searches for you." The biggest irony of life is that we end up spending a lifetime searching for our true purpose without actually living. Learning to value the life we have been given is a rare skill and sadly, one that very few possess. There is plenty of literature out there that claim to help one achieve wealth and success and not nearly enough literature that tells you to cherish the more important things in life, like love and happiness. In The Gift of Life, Osho analyses a short but intriguing Sufi story to talk about the real gift we have all been given: life. Read on.
