Rendition Toward Books The Fourth Way
The Fourth Way is the most comprehensive statement thus far published of the ideas taught by the late P.D. Ouspensky. Consisting of verbatim records of his oral teaching from 1921 to 1946, it gives a lucid explanation of the practical side of G. I. Gurdjieff's teachings, which Gurdjieff presented in the form of raw materials, Ouspensky's specific task having been to put them together as a systematic whole. Just as Tertium Organum deals with a new mode of thinking, so The Fourth Way is concerned with a new way of living. It shows a way of inner development to be followed under the ordinary conditions of life -- as distinct from the three traditional ways that call for retirement from the world: those of the fakir, the monk, and the yogi.The Fourth Way is a guide for those who seek a true way of inner growth under conditions open to the men and women of today.

Not as good as In search of Miraculous. But still an amazing book explains a lot things. Gurdjieff, Ouspensky, and Collin understood thing like no one else ever could. These books have what we all are looking for however, it's not easy to attain it, these books make sense to person with higher level of being.I understand that this book is out of fashion. That's a shame, but then Ouspensky said that the Fourth Way will never be popular because it demands effort. This book is of his lectures, with questions and answers. Ouspensky, the teacher, was not very interested in inspiring his students with the mysteries of the higher worlds. But he was interested in outlining the practices and principles that give us the possibility of changing our 'being.' He doesn't entice; he says: this is what you need to
This book took me six months to crawl through and though painful at times was worth the effort. It mirrored in many ways my own journey in terms of timing and though I could not pretend to have initiated the level of effort the Ouspensky says that we need to wake up from our slumber, from time to time I catch glimpses and that reminder alone was worth the read. I would not recommend this book for anyone that is not naturally drawn toward it and would say if you are interested in the ideas of

Long time ago i read this book.. was very fascinated almost obssesed with the fourth way at the time. But as I have grown older and more mature i see how alot og the ideas are obscure and inflated in my opinion. You can easily get sucked in and taken down a bad path in life with these "teachings"Be Aware and think for yourself!
Tricky reading, but this book really helped me to learn how to concentrate again. Not sure how many times I have read this, at least three, Perhaps four. Sounds funny it is, never thought i'd read a book four times or more. I have lost track the times now actually.
I read this work many years ago, and now I would like to read it again. In light of a book I'm currently reading, The Denial of Death, in which the philosphy preached in The Forth Way is repudiated.
