Description
"Friedman s book has translated Gurdjieff into ordinary understandable English. I would highly recommend this book as a place to start." "I have more than 50 books on Gurdjieff s and Ouspensky s Work on my shelves, but this is no doubt the most practical one for beginners." "Couldn t Put it Down " "Gil Friedman has done the near-impossible: rendered Gurdjieff s esoteric philosophy eminently readable, even entertaining. . . No serious student of philosophy or metaphysics should miss this great book " "The clearest and most useful book on the basics." "I want to express my appreciation for for your Beginner's Guide to Gurdjieff's philosophy. Before reading your book, I have read several books on Gurdjieff ( Ouspensky, Needleman, Waker, Gurdjieff) and, at times, got lost in the complexity of what I was reading, and left wondering. It is not until I read your book, that Gurdjieff's philosophy emerged to the light, and resonated deeply within me. Trying to describe your book to a friend, I mentioned that the gift I saw in you was your ability to unearth the precious nuggets of Gurdjieff's philosophy and process, and to bring them to the light in a way that is accessible to the "house-keeper.""
