About the author

John Godolphin Bennett (8 June 1897 – 13 December 1974) was a British mathematician, scientist, technologist, industrial research director and author. He is perhaps best known for his many books on psychology and spirituality, particularly on the teachings of G. I. Gurdjieff. Bennett met Gurdjieff in Istanbul in October 1920 and later helped to co-ordinate the work of Gurdjieff in England after Gurdjieff's arrival in Paris. He also was active in starting the British section of the Subud movement, and co-founded its British headquarters.

Reviews

[Sonic]

Though it only gives indications, this book is a gift for anyone who might try to understand 'Beelzebub's Tales.'

[Tom Riordan]

I liked this book a lot. I read Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson by Gurdjieff last year. This book by Bennett was very helpful in explaining the Tales. I appreciate Bennett's wide ranging knowledge as he draws from Buddhism, Zoroastrianism and Sufism to help make things clearer.

A surprising little book.
