A revised and expanded edition of U.G. Krishnamurti's The Courage to Stand Alone. Transcribed and edited from the famous 'Give Up' tapes recorded in Amsterdam in 1982. This edition of The Courage to Stand Alone is supplemented with thoughtful comments from three people who had spent considerable time with UG and gives us a closer insight into the impact of UG's words and actions. "He turns everything upside down...There is some compelling purity about him, some way in which he captures a kind of longing that we all seem to have for a genuinely wise human being. A paradox, a wonder, a marvel ..." Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson author of The Assault on Truth and My Father's Guru
