Title: Very unfavorable opinion
Review: A trivialization in the presumption of simplicity. Speeth's parents were involved in the Gurdjieff Work. She wasn't. She met Gurdjieff as a child, but this book only indicates the shallow surface of the ideas and practices he expressed. This set of ideas is not called "the work" lightly. Speeth seems to have no clue what that means. If the actual writings of Gurdjieff or the highly recommended "In Search of the Miraculous" are too daunting to begin with, try Jean Vaysse's "Toward Awakening" as an introduction that is at least connected with its subject.--I am not entering my name because I do not wish this to sound like self-promotion, not because I do not stand behind this opinion.
