For anyone interested in self-development, self-awareness, self-knowledge etc-call it what you like.....This book is the absolute cream of the crop. Read Buddhism, zen, sufism, mystical this and that and whatever. Saturate yourself and get to a point where you think you understand. Then, when you are ready to do some serious work, read this.....

Like many, I came across Jan during my investigation of Gurdjieff and the 4th way. His insights into the nature of reality and our supposed prison are profound and unlike any others I have come across.

After reading all of the Gurdjieff, Ouspensky, Nicoll, Mystical Christianity, Sufi, Buddhist, Magic, and "Psychological" stuff that could be swallowed by one person in a Lifetime, I came upon a little book called "Teachers of Gurdjieff". It made me realize that REAL WORK was still alive, and that not being born in Gurdjieff's time and place did not disqualify me from ever finding it. Jan is still VERY much ALIVE, and on fire. If you're willing to go someplace without handles, read this book
