The Fourth Way Explained
If you're new to Gurgjieffian thought, this is the book to start with. It gives a general overview of G.I. Gurdjieff and P.D. Ouspensky's main philosophical ideas. The book is in the form of five short lectures that each tackle a particular topic. The major emphasis of the book is that humans need to learn to stop being meachines and to acquire self-consciousness by self-sudy before any upward motion along the lines of knowledge and being can be accomplished. Contains very practical advice.

Very well laid out introduction to the 4'th Way
This is a great little book that offers a surprising amount of insight into the spiriual path. The book is written before Ouspensky published his book "In Search of the Miraculous", which goes into much more detail, but this book has so many little gems that it is worth every penny spent. To me Ouspensky is more accessible than reading Gurdjieff directly and gives a very good overview of the 4'th way teaching.

mind blowing!
this book is brilliant!there were many parts of 'in search of the miraculas'that i could't get my head round.Evan after a 2nd read.this book was a very concise overview of the whole teaching which enabled me to put alot of pieces together that i didn't understand before.if you like this kind of book i recommend 'the mystic path to cosmic power' by vernon howard.
