Yet he remains a mystery to most people. This is the first truly popular biography of the man behind the ideas, written by a sympathetic but critical outsider. Steiner is widely known for what he left behind: a network of Waldorf schools, biodynamic farming, Camphill schools and villages and pioneering work in holistic health and environmental research. Although his achievements are felt all over the world, few people understand this unusual figure. Steiner’s own writings fill several bookcases, but are often dense and ‘insider’ in tone. Gary Lachman tells Steiner’s story lucidly and with great insight. He presents Steiner’s key ideas in a readable, accessible way, tracing his beginning as a young intellectual in the ferment of fin de siècle culture to the founding of his own metaphysical teaching, called anthroposophy. This book is a full-bodied portrait of one of the most original philosophical and spiritual luminaries of the last two centuries. Review: Start out for Steiner - Recommended if you are looking for a good introductory overview of who Steiner was and what his work was about. For an in-depth view of Steiner's life and work check out Christoph Lindenberg's biography. Review: A Spiritual Giant - I so enjoy reading Gary Lachman's books that I re-read them several months later and his Rudolf Steiner must be one of the best. He obviously has a high opinion of Steiner as a thinker and innovater despite misgivings about some details of his occult science. It's a pity that there was no one with Steiner's dynamism and leadership to guide the Anthroposophical Society following his death in 1925. Rudlof Steiner was slight in stature but a spiritual giant. ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - Guaranteed packaging - No quibbles returns ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 229,442 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 425 in Teaching & Learning Biographies 707 in Religious Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 112 Reviews | ## Images ![Rudolf Steiner: An Introduction to His Life and Work - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61aZK9GYTjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Start out for Steiner *by K***S on 16 December 2018* Recommended if you are looking for a good introductory overview of who Steiner was and what his work was about.

My partner has a cousin who is a Waldorf teacher in Germany and she is enamoured of this education style. I on the other hand have concerns, but without really knowing a great deal about Steiner, I didn't feel confident enough to act on these alone, and so I felt it was about time I informed myself about the man behind Anthroposophy so I picked up this book of my partner's from the bookshelf when I was housebound earlier this week. I found the author's honesty refreshing. While plainly someone with respect for Steiner, he refused to turn his work into a hagiography. He is not afraid to point out what he considers weaknesses in credibility in the philosophy. This book has filled in a lot of the gaps in my knowledge about Steiner. There is no doubt he was a philantrophist and had nothing but the best of intentions, however his reliance on obtaining truths via spiritual means clashes worries my empirical nature. The book left me a lot clearer about my position on his education system (which for the record is now one of mild disinclination). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/68253485-rudolf-steiner-an-introduction-to-his-life-and-work](https://www.desertcart.be/products/68253485-rudolf-steiner-an-introduction-to-his-life-and-work) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-11-10*
