About Krishnamurti's Journal

Krishnamurti's Journal, republished as The Beauty of Life: Krishnamurti's Journal is a diary of 20th-century Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti (⁠1895–1986⁠). Originally published in print in 1982, it was republished under the new title in an extended edition in 2023. The diary, a handwritten journal that eschews the first person, is composed of entries dated in 1973, 1975 and 1981. The entries touch on favorite Krishnamurti topics like meditation, the dangerous effects of identification and of conditioned thinking, and the need for radical individual psychological reset. The diary is also known for poetic and nuanced descriptions of nature, and of nature's relationship with human consciousness. The published work is considered one of the very few books Krishnamurti wrote himself.
