Not genuineNovember 26, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
These exercises do not come from Gurdjieff or his students. They are invented by the people from an equally self invented study group without any connection to Gurdjieff or his students. They purport to be based on Gurdjieff aphorisms, but these aphorisms seem to be misunderstood or not taken in the right way. While these exercises may not be terribly harmful, they are certainly not the Gurdjieff Work.

This isn't just a book of philosophy, it's a guide to the daily practice and application of the principles of George Gurdjieff's Fourth Way. If you have any interest in the work of George Gurdjieff and you would like a taste of what it's like to practice his method and way, this book is for you. I refer to this book daily and I find the practices to be both relevant and effective.
