Power, Politics and Change

“Change yourself
and through that very change
you will have changed a part of the world.”

– Osho

Power, Politics and Change challenges the common belief that “power corrupts,” arguing instead that those who seek power are already corrupted. Once they achieve their goal, their corruption simply finds the opportunity to express itself. This is why even those who pursue power in order to bring about radical change so often fail—despite their best intentions.

Osho reveals where this “will to power” originates and how it manifests, not only in politics but also in our everyday relationships. In contrast, he offers a new vision for relationships and society—one based not on exerting power over others, but on recognizing the uniqueness of each individual.

This book is part of the Osho Life Essentials series, which focuses on the most important questions in human life. Each volume presents timeless yet ever-relevant insights and discussions on vital themes, supporting our personal search for meaning and purpose, while addressing key questions about inner harmony and the quality of our existence.
