Item description from seller

To front: titles; list of author's other books; & detailed contents list. Described by the author as a key to the entire corpus of his work, The Commanding Self describes the mixture of primitive and conditioned responses, common to everyone, that inhibits and distorts human progress and understanding. This book is designed to offer a way to transcend the limits imposed by this "commanding self." While complete in itself as an anthology of hitherto unpublished work, the book serves to illustrate and amplify Idries Shah's preceding books on the Sufi Way. Based on tales, lectures, letters, and interviews, it offers both an introduction to Sufi thought and further study for those already acquainted with Shah's writings. First softcover edition. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xii + 332. No Dust Jacket as published. White titles spine. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 500 grams. Category: Philosophy; Eastern Philosophy; Islamic Mysticism; Sufism; Religion & Theology. ISBN: 0863040705. ISBN/EAN: 9780863040702. Dewey Code: 297.4. Inventory No: 4941. …
