Publisher's summary

The publication of Power vs. Force by Sir David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., reveals to the general public secret information heretofore only shared by the author with certain Nobelists and world leaders.

Analyzing the basic nature of human thought and consciousness itself, the author makes available to everyone the key to penetrating the last barrier to the advancement of civilization and science and resolving the most crucial of all human dilemmas: how to instantly determine the truth or falsehood of any statement or supposed fact.

All human endeavors have the common goal of understanding or influencing human experience. To this end, man has developed numerous descriptive and analytical disciplines: morality, philosophy, psychology, and so on. Regardless of what branch of inquiry one starts from (philosophy, political theory, theology) all avenues of investigation eventually converge at a common meeting point: the quest for an organized understanding of the nature of pure consciousness.

To explain that which is simple can be difficult indeed. Much of this book is devoted to the process of making the simple obvious. If we can understand even one simple thing in depth, we will have greatly expanded our capacity for comprehending the nature of the universe and life itself.

Critic reviews

"A beautiful gift of writing...[You] spread joy, love, and compassion through what you write. The fruit of these three is peace." (Mother Teresa)

Amazing

At first it me a little time to adjust to Dr.Hawkins voice, but once the adjustment was made it became evident that know one but Dr.Hawkins could read and explain this amazing book. I now know why man has placed the world situation where it is and the only answer to the problems man has caused. “LOVE” Love is the only answer.

Thank you Dr. Hawkins

Savoured every drop

I can imagine this book being highly controversial with it's display of supposed "truths" found via kinesiology. But if you're able to see beyond "real" and "unreal" you'll find this book to have helpful truths rather than unhelpful truths. I personally came out feeling empowered and encouraged.

Great content terrible audio

I loves this book for its content but the author should have never done the voiceover. It made it extremely hard to listen to and stay awake.

Great content but boring narration

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Yes, I would recommend this book a friend as the content is fantastic. A lot of research went into this book and I wish I had known about it many years ago already.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

The narration is the weak point in my opinion. The reading is monotonous. A narrator like Peter Lownds would blow this audiobook out of the water and drives sales up.
The author is an excellent researcher but not the born narrator. His voice makes me fall asleep and oftentimes it's hard to understand.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

yes.

Any additional comments?

Bring out a version with Peter Lownds as narrator as an option.

Poor narration makes this a hard listen

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Although the content was compelling, with all due respect to the author, his narration made it a hard listen.

Who was your favorite character and why?

N/A

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Dr. David R. Hawkins?

The woman who prefaced all the chapters in the book was way better than the narrator.

Was Power vs. Force worth the listening time?

No

Any additional comments?

The narration was so bad I bought a digital copy of the book and will be reading it on my kindle instead.

Awesome info

Awesome info but the book is really hard to read. So I purchased the audio version —- it was kinda dry but I know that it was info I needed — I will listen to it again cause it is one of those books that you need to hear a few times

I think i would have like it better if the reader could be changed .

Hard Mode

Meaty spiritual content. needs a second listen to grasp all of the layers of information.

Read the book

I had read the book before listening to the audio narrated by the author. I found the narration a bit difficult to follow and felt a deeper connection when reading the words in text form.

Increíble

Excelente libro, es la cuarta vez que lo escucho y siempre aprendo algo nuevo. Lo recomiendo.

Please let the pro do the audio

I don't know why he read his book himself. Should he be awared of good deliverable lead to good understanding?
