Leaving School, Entering Life brings together J. Krishnamurti’s talks and dialogues with students in Varanasi in January 1954. The collection includes fifteen talks at Rajghat Besant School and three at Banaras Hindu University.

Krishnamurti explores education as an inseparable part of life, concerned with understanding both the outer world and the inner world of human consciousness. He examines how education can help young people discover their relationship with nature, society, other people, knowledge, and themselves.
