Description

Wisdom of the Idiots by Idries Shah is a unique exploration of Sufi wisdom. The term 'idiots' refers to those who possess a depth of understanding that transcends intellectual knowledge, making their insights inaccessible to the merely intelligent or academically-inclined. This book presents the exercise-stories of the Sufis as tools for self-discovery and personal growth. By examining the psychological processes portrayed in these stories, readers can gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. A notable recognition of this work is its inclusion in UNESCO's World Book Year, where it was awarded a gold medal for being 'Best Book'.
