The best Gurdjieff book you will ever read!
Having read almost everything from the world of Gurdjieff I was astonished to find a book which turned my understanding about the "Essence" upside down. This book helped me to realise the Essence is far more than a "space" at our core...it is the centre of our deepest self filled with qualities of thought, feeling and physical aspects that make us who we are. Read this book it will change you forever!

This book categorizes human beings rather objectively!
In her latest book, Susan Zannos categorizes all people into just seven simple categories. Each category reveals generic observations that are both profound and useful - as to what they contribute to the psychological, physical, social and spiritual understanding of human beings.

She also takes further steps, explaining how these human types are related to - and communicate with - the solar system in which we live.

This book is noteworthy for its explanations of how different scales - micro-worlds, human beings, and the universe - interact and thereby make man what he is.

The knowledge upon which "Human Types" is based is esoteric, and is understandable at different levels by human beings at different levels.

Perhaps one of the most important conclusions that one can reach, from reading Ms. Zannos' book, is that a human being is no different from a machine. But the book hints and hints and hints at the possibility that a human being can also evolve into something that is not a machine.

It is apparent to this reader that Ms. Zannos is aware of some secrets that are not told - and perhaps cannot be told - in "Human Types."

Although this work is not for all readers, it is for seekers and finders.

Excellent! A five-star plus literary experience.

Most complete and understandable book on Essence.
Susan is a long time (over 20 years) personal friend of mine and we have both followed the same spiritual path during this time. Her book is so lucid and easy to understand. She gives a great introductory perspective in the first 3 chapters: Origins, Ancient Wisdom, & Modern Research and then she spends about 250 pages on the subject of Centers and Body Type, two aspects of our human essence. It's filled with easy to understand examples, plus she has photos of real people (most of them I know and can attest to the accuracy of her perceptions from years of my own observations) to illustrate types. This is an amazing book at an amazing price!!! I reccommend it to fellow spiritual travelers all the time, as it is one of the keys to self knowledge. If you don't know who or what you are, how can you become anything more? Go for it!!! Thankyou Susan :-)
