from The Idries Shah Foundation:
Wisdom of the Idiots
In Idries Shah’s Wisdom of the Idiots, the ‘idiots’ are
Sufis, called this because their wisdom penetrates to a depth which renders it
inaccessible to the merely intelligent or academically-knowledgeable. The
exercise-stories of the Sufis are tools prepared for a specific purpose.On this level the movements of the characters in a story portray psychological processes, and the story becomes a working blueprint of those processes.
Wisdom of the Idiots has been awarded many prizes, including two gold medals, one for being ‘Best Book’, in conjunction with UNESCO’s World Book Year.

Printed copies are available from The Octagon Press and ebooks
will soon be available for Kindle and other ebook readers.
