From its first publication in 1949 to the present day, P. D. Ouspensky's book "In Search of the Miraculous" remains the most valuable and reliable source of G. I. Gurdjieff's teachings.
The knowledge that had been passed down orally from teacher to student in the East for centuries formed the basis of the original teachings that Gurdjieff brought to Europe. They attracted many enthusiasts, including Ouspensky himself, a well-known journalist, traveler, and writer. Recounting in detail the years he spent with his teacher, Ouspensky created a vivid portrait of Gurdjieff and provided a multifaceted overview of his teachings.
The book is written in a vivid and engaging style, and can be confidently recommended as an introductory book to the Fourth Way.
