Description
Yara Press Gurdjieff a Beginner by Gil Friedman
Friedmans 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 Gurdjieffs and Ouspenskys Work on my shelves but this is no doubt the most practical one for beginners. Couldnt Put it Down! Gil Friedman has done the nearimpossible: rendered Gurdjieffs 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 Beginners Guide to Gurdjieffs 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 Gurdjieffs 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 Gurdjieffs philosophy and process and to bring them to the light in a way that is accessible to the housekeeper.show more
