L' evoluzione interiore dell'uomo

This book is something of a contradiction. It could be viewed as a “self help” book, but, unlike the majority of these, it does not reassure the reader or boost his or her confidence. It begins from the premise that most of our thoughts and actions are mechanical, and proceeds to suggest that it req Leggi tutto

In this book, the psyche is “the soul or spirit” and psychology the means of human evolution to a higher level of awareness and being. This is not what is being taught in schools, as Ouspensky points out. He postulates that there is a “true self” one must get to know. However, we will not advance un Leggi tutto

عنوان فارسی: تکامل آگاهانه انسان، ترجمه محمود پورآزاد . یکی از بی‌معنی‌ترین و پوچ‌ترین کتاب‌هایی بود که این اواخر خوندم. زمانی‌که از دور به کتب اوسپنسکی نگاه می‌کردم، تصور می‌کردم حرفی برا گفتن داشته باشه، اما این کتاب انگار صرفا فقط برای تبلیغ مکتب اوسپنسکی بود و به‌شکلی در طول کتاب صحبت می‌کرد که ان Leggi tutto

(however there are some great techniques and philosophical insights in a lot of schools, but I talk about this s Leggi tutto

I give it 2 stars because it is short. But the book says nothing new or profound, these ideas have been passed around like all beloved mêmes, just rewritten in a slightly different way. But if you must read Ouspensky then start here because you'll feel better that you didn't waste your time on the t Leggi tutto

Presented in five chapters termed "lectures," The Psychology of Man's Evolution, by P. D. Ouspensky, is a strange little book intended to whet the reader's appetite for diving into the full blown G.
