Casual relationships have become very common in a society like ours, which is more accepting of casual sex. At the same time, however, there is an underlying sense that something is missing – the quality of intimacy. Intimacy is the willingness to be honest and to show others who you really are, while also being vulnerable, exposing your deepest feelings, trusting that the other person will treat you with respect. Ultimately, intimacy is about risking that, even if the other person is closed off and betrays your trust, it will not cause you any permanent harm and that what truly matters is being open yourself. In this empathetic book, Osho guides us step by step through all that scares us about intimacy and how to face those fears, how to overcome them, and how to support ourselves and our relationships by nurturing them with more openness and trust. The Insights series – Vision for a New Way of Living sheds light on beliefs and behaviors that prevent individuals from being their true selves. With an intelligent combination of compassion and humor, Osho encourages the reader to face what they would most like to avoid – which is exactly what provides the key to true awareness and strength.
