I have lots of book and this one is in my stack of significant books that unveiled so much to me and allowed me to grow!

Steiner has a lot of valuable knowledge however few will fully grasp it.

Truly, this book deserves 5 stars but I'm pulling one due to the shoddy publication.I highly recommend it to 4th Way students as Steiner's ideas are so very similar to Gurdjieff's (and Steiner was active years before G!). There are of course differences between the two, even beyond superficial differences such as terminology, however the striking similarities far outweigh.Unfortunately, this paperback is rife with typographical errors from the OCR scanning of the text that the "publisher" (opportunist) never found important enough to address. Also, the book is sized like a child's coloring book, a big flimsy 8.5x11 that is totally unnecessary. For a book like C. Daly King's "Oragean Version", with all its complex diagrams, the large sizing is helpful. But there are no diagrams here, just text which only requires a normal-sized paperback.

Excellent book but the print is very small, too small for my old eyes
