Intelligence, Osho challenges the conventional belief that intelligence is best fostered through intellectual training. He argues that intellect is logical, while true intelligence is paradoxical, capable of synthesizing disparate elements to grasp the whole. Osho contends that an overemphasis on intellect in education creates societal imbalance, hindering our ability to respond creatively to a dynamic world. This book encourages readers to become more aware of their problem-solving approaches—be they logical, emotional, or practical—and to cultivate a more holistic understanding.
