Much of what is considered New Age spirituality can be attributed to Gurdjieff.

If we understood the true role of money in our lives, writes philosopher Jacob Needleman, we would not think simply in terms of spending it or saving it. Money exerts a deep emotional influence on who we are and what we tell ourselves we can never have. Our long unwillingness to understand the emotional and spiritual effects of money on us is at the heart of why we have come to know the price of everything, and the value of nothing. Money has ...

A compelling force in our society, money finds its way into literally every aspect of life on this planet. "Money, Money, Money" is intended to help readers understand money more fully and to help them see how having it--and not having enough--impacts and relates to the meaning of our lives.

Philosophy as it is frequently taught in classrooms bears little relation to the impassioned and immensely practical search for self-knowledge conducted by not only its ancient avatars but also by men and woman who seek after truth today.
