Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This is an intimate account of one man's spiritual search through The Work, an esoteric Gurdjieff movement. The narrative focuses on "the collision that occurs between the teaching and the 'I,' the conditioned self-identity." Patterson's account is gripping as he struggles to be accepted into The Work, as he struggles with himself in the process of The Work, as he flirts with teachers and ideas from other traditions, and as he officially leaves The Work and shortly thereafter attends his mentor's funeral. The Work philosophy and Patterson's attempt at self-transformation in the midst of ordinary experience is quite revealing. Recommended for large libraries of all types.

Review
"Eating The 'I' gives as full a picture of the Work as it may be possible to get without joining it. It comes from a great depth and carries much conviction. Readers will taste this teaching in action and will also get an extraordinary glimpse of an extraordinary teacher - Lord John Pentland." --Richard Smoley, Editor, Gnosis Magazine
"I am sure Eating The 'I' will be one of the more important writings on the Gurdjieff Work, after Ouspensky's In Search of the Miraculous." --Miguel Serrano, author, C.G. Jung and Hermann Hesse and The Serpent in Paradise
"Patterson has two fine Irish gifts: a vivid memory and a storyteller's ear. Paced like a novel, this spiritual autobiography is certain to appeal to those who want a rare and engaging inside glimpse of the Gurdjieff Work." --Stephen Bodian, Editor, Yoga Journal
