Worth reading!The Psychology of Man’s Possible Evolution is a collection of five lectures by Ouspensky which were not originally intended to be published.The lectures studies man in view of what he may become and describes how a man must work simultaneously on his knowledge and his being to find inner unity.About P. D. Ouspensky:P. D. Ouspensky was a major contributor to Twentieth century ideas. He anticipated many of the key questions in philosophy, psychology and religion that have driven and informed us throughout the century. Born in Moscow and raised by an artistic and intellectual family, Ouspensky refused to follow conventional academic training. While employed as a journalist, his extensive travels, personal studies, and a quest for the miraculous resulted in the publication of his brilliant Tertium Organum in 1912. He studied intensively with G. I. Gurdjieff between 1915 and 1918. Throughout the rest of his life, Ouspensky continued to promote Gurdjieff’s system as the practical study of methods for developing consciousness.
