Six Steps in Self-Development

The so-called 'supplementary exercises' are integral to the path of personal development presented by Steiner. In six stages these exercises enable the practise of qualities summarized as: control of thoughts, initiative of will, equanimity, positivity, open-mindedness and equilibrium of soul. The editor has drawn together virtually all Steiner's statements on the exercises, supporting them with commentary and notes. With a chapter devoted to each exercise, they are described in detail and from different perspectives.
