Reviews

[Aubrey Davis]

This is as close as we can get to sitting down to a Sufi Dinner Meeting, a unique educational event that’s part performance and part interaction. Shocking, often funny, peppered with uncommon common sense, this far-reaching little book can actually prepare you to learn faster and more surely. Topics include Eastern cults, what is missing, what prevents learning, unknown capacities and much more. Highly recommended.

[Ita Marquess]

It would be easy to dismiss this short book as a mere pamphlet, but it is concentrated, seminal Shah – an integral part of his work and very relevant to today's world.

[Robs]

There is a notable explanation of how telepathy is a constant human experience and why it appears to be entirely absent or manifests in an insignificant way in this brief yet comprehensive work.

[Roberto]

Small book, great content. A little jewel!

[Toni]

'Two Sufis were agreeing that almost the whole of human life was a struggle between nature and discipline, and how there had to be a third course, directed study, which avoided either while allowing both to operate.' Opening sentence of Nature and Discipline. ALL the accounts/narratives in this booklet punch holes in our assumptions: show something that helps us to become more aware. There is a new edition. See Idries Shah Foundation.

Different, but awesome.

[Gerry Cullen]

Their simply is no other book like "Evenings with Idries Shah". You would have to read it for yourself to see why it is a 5 star book, you will not regret it.
