Psychological Commentaries on the Teaching of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky
Volume 1
The collected talks of Maurice Nicoll, a Scottish psychiatrist who taught the Fourth Way of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky in London.
Maurice Nicoll, a Scottish neurologist and psychiatrist, joined the group of P. D. Ouspensky, a student and then a teacher of George Gurdjieff’s Fourth Way, and started his own study groups in England in 1931. From 1941 until 1953 he gave and circulated more than 500 talks to his groups in and around London. They were collected in this multi-volume work, the one he is best known for. This is the first volume.

Nicoll, a British psychiatrist, was a pupil of Armenian philosopher and mystic George Gurdjieff. His multi-volume book contains, I think, the best advice on understanding one's own psychology as looked at through the Esoteric Christian tradition.
