title: Teachings of Gurdjieff: A Pupil's Journal
author: C. S. Nott
description: Drawn from Nott's hundreds of pages of notes and diaries, this book provides a record of the expressions and actions of Gurdjieff and the profound impact of life at the Chateau du Prieure, Fontainbleau, at that time. Gurdjieff was a Russian occultist who used stylized dance to "free" people and help them to develop their full capabilities. Gurdjieff has often been attributed as the founder of the modern human-potential movement.
