Publisher's summary

In The Voice of Knowledge, don Miguel Ruiz reminds us of a profound and simple truth: The only way to end our emotional suffering and restore our joy in living is to stop believing in lies, mainly about ourselves.

Before we learn to speak, our true nature is to love and be happy, to explore and enjoy life. As little children, we are completely authentic. Our actions are guided by instinct and emotions, we listen to the silent "voice of our integrity". Once we learn to speak, the people around us hook our attention and program us with knowledge. The "voice of knowledge" comes alive inside our head, and what is that voice telling us? Mostly lies. That voice never stops talking, judging, gossiping, and abusing us. It constantly sabotages our happiness and keeps us from enjoying a reality of truth and love.

Ruiz shows us how to recover the silent voice of our integrity and find inner peace. When the voice of knowledge no longer controls us, our life becomes an expression of our authentic self, just as it was before we learned to speak. Then we return to the truth, we return to love, and we live in happiness again.

Very Inspiring Truth

What did you love best about The Voice of Knowledge?

I loved that the message of the book was so simply delivered. With this kind of simplicity it seems as though anyone can easily apply the principals in order to live a more meaningful life without all the added drama (lies). I can honestly say that this book changed me for the better! This book spoke to my integrity at such a core level, I felt as if my spirit was simply nodding in agreement the entire time, but it was my mind that was unfolding and learning these new things. Like pulling weeds to uncover a beautiful garden waiting to be enjoyed! I also loved the narrator. He was so easy on the ears and pleasant to listen to.

Any additional comments?

Another great listen by this author, Ruiz, is The Mastery of Love.

So simple and yet so rich. I have enjoyed every word. It awakens. It reminded me who I am, how I can dream my reality with integrity and love.

My experience

I really liked the narrator’s voice it was very soothing. I really enjoyed the story. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone and specifically those who are interested in find their true self, those who are looking for guidance in “how to love themselves”. Especially those people who always put others before themselves and depriving themselves of self love and self care. I gave this book excellent rating because of its material and what I’ve personally gained from. I’ve obtained a new perspective on live after listening to this book. I will definitely listen to this book multiple times and this is coming from someone who isn’t much of a “reader”, meaning I don’t read for leisure, I digress. Check out this book and thank me later.
