To change the world! That great ideal. Different goals, motivations, but always the same end, the same disappointment. But where should change begin? Krishnamurti's answer is clear. The real revolution begins within a person. If a person wants to change the world, they must first change themselves. They must get rid of their mental and emotional conditioning. They must understand how their fears, loneliness, and addictions shape the way they perceive the world. They must discover the essence of love and freedom. Changing Oneself, Changing the World, which includes Krishnamurti's speeches all over the world in the 1950s, invites the reader to a deep journey of self-awareness, to discover the ways of living with an unconditioned mind.
“The real revolution is internal, and it can only happen when the mind is not after it.”

Here is one of those who we might call a master of reality.–Henry Miller

Few contemporary thinkers have combined psychology, philosophy, and religion as seamlessly as Krishnamurti.–Publishers Weekly
