'Views From the Real World —
Early Talks of Gurdjieff'

Published by — The Penguin Group.

'Views From the Real World' is a compilation of lectures and talks given by G.I. Gurdjieff at his 'Institute For the Harmonious Development of Man' in France, and in the various cities that he traveled to during the first half of the 20th Century. For those of you who are unfamiliar with that name, George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff was one of the most enigmatic spiritual teachers of all time. His search for Truth began in the Caucasus and went from there to Egypt, and on to the esoteric mystery schools of the Far East. After years on the path Gurdjieff found what he was after - and he forged that wisdom into a method of inner development that uses 'real life' as its playing field.

Although his work is reputed to be difficult to grasp, underneath all the mystery, everything this remarkable man had to say was quite simple. The talks that are included in 'Views From the Real World' showcase that simplicity better than any of his other books. Peppered with Gurdjieff's wit and his no nonsense approach to enlightenment each one is a gem - and a bold faced reminder of the importance of establishing a connection 'between the conscious force which descends and the total commitment that answers it'. (Quote from the Introduction)

For those times when we find our selves in the mood for a little spiritual inspiration, and/or a good reality check, this book is just what the Doctor ordered!
