by P. D. Ouspensky

Reviews
Studies man in view of what he may become. Describes how a man must work simultaneously on his knowledge and his being to find inner unity.

This book includes interesting comments on what "psychology" actually should be , and how modern psychology, in all it's many facets, falls so far short of this.

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 machines and to acquire self-consciousness by self-study before any upward motion along the lines of knowledge and being can be accomplished. Contains very practical advice.

Don't just read it - understand it.
This little book is one of those that is worth its weight in diamond. If you are on the fence about it - buy it. You owe it to yourself to search out and develop an understanding of these powerful ideas.

Review by William Sebrans, OtherWise World from California, USA, July 18, 1998
Highly Recommended
A spare, terse distillation of the no-nonsense call to waking up in the manner of the 4th Way, which takes place not in the monastery, but in the ordinary conditions of life. Basically, Gurdjieff's transmission of esoteric understanding through Ouspensky's language.
