Fame, Fortune, and Ambition examines the symptoms and psychology of preoccupations with money and celebrity. Where does greed come from? Do values like competitiveness and ambition have a place in bringing innovation and positive change? Why do celebrities and the wealthy seem to have so much influence in the world? Is it true that money can’t buy happiness? These questions are tackled with a perspective that is thought-provoking, surprising – and particularly relevant to our troubled economic times..

Excerpt from: Fame, Fortune and Ambition, Chapter 1
"I am not against success, let me remind you again, I am not saying, don’t be successful. I have nothing against it; it is perfectly good. What I am saying is don’t be motivated by it, otherwise, you will miss painting, you will miss poetry, you will miss the song that you are singing right now; and when success comes, you have only empty hands because nobody can be fulfilled by success. Success cannot nourish you; it has no nutrients in it – success is just hot air." Osho
In this title, Osho talks on the following topics:
Peace...Nobody...Psychological...Possession...Space...Clarity...Lonely...Alexander...Shaw...Aristotle
