    Reading philosophy is very dull and boring it’s better to listen podcasts like Philosophize This on Spotify who discuss philosophy in layman terms and gives context and meaning behind the different ideas of philosophers rather than just hovering around one idea while reading one book.
    Philosophy when understood through discourse (this is what Osho did) helps in context and intention of that thought as it becomes more interesting and helps us understand ourselves or the philosophy through the lens of that idea.
    Understanding Philosophy through discourse or podcast is best option in today’s times. Let experts break it down for with correct interpretation.
