2011 Update
Are you ready for self-transformation?Many spiritual teachers promise transformation, but Georges Ivanovitch Gurdjieff delivers. Gurdjieff (1872-1949) was born in Alexandropol on the border of Russia and Turkey. Gurdjieff's teachings contain many concepts that, taken together are referred to as the Work. The idea behind the Work is that our first birth is our physical body, which is all we need to get through life. But we are capable of developing into something higher, just as an acorn can stay an acorn and die or develop into an Oak Tree, we can develop into something higher. Gurdjieff offers a radically original version of man and his potential for self-development. "Gurdjieff, A Beginner's Guide: How Changing the Way We React To Misplacing Our Keys Can Transform Our Lives" is a beginning guide to the teachings of Gurdjieff. Practical and eminently readable, it leads the reader through some of the main concepts necessary for self-transformation.

I am the author. The book came out first in 2003. I have sold approximately 30,000 copies in the US, UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Gurdjieff is a very hard writer to understand. I have translated him into ordinary English for everyone to understand. If you want a book not only about Gurdjieff but stands on it's own merit as a self development book. I write in a conversational tone, which is easy to follow with many examples. The book comes in big print with lots of space between the lines. I believe if you buy it, you'll enjoy it. It has 261 total reviews with an average rating of 4.5 stars. 180 reviews are 5-stars.
