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.

That voice sounds like I’m listening to a drunk

I mean, why? To ruin such an amazing book with that drunk man voice like.... that ruins the experience. I can picture him at a hole in a wall kind of bar reading this book.

It’s really hard to listen to and hard to understand.

I read this book before, I love the book! I’ve been studying this technique and others for almost 20 years. It feels like a lecture and it’s hard to understand some of his words when he speaks. If you like listening to lectures, then this will be great for you. I will probably just go reread his book!

monotone

What did you like best about Power vs. Force? What did you like least?

this book has SO much valuable information but the author sounds like, well, it is so monotone I fall asleep,

What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?


the information is so valuable in our lives

How could the performance have been better?


a little expression

Do you think Power vs. Force needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

the information needs to be known. maybe a recap with enthusiasm for the message

The Deepest Book I Have Ever Read

This book was recommended to me by my counselor to help me with some issues regarding my life and career direction. Alot of this is really heavy and required playback several times, but %100 worth the read.

Awful Narration

I can't get through this book because the narration is so awful. I'm going to buy a hard copy rather. Quite disappointed.

Finally!

I first heard of David Hawkins and Power vs Force from listening to Wayne Dyer praise them - on cassette tapes back in 2020. Am SO glad to have finally heard the book, read by the author. Was recently in Sedona, AZ, where Dr. Hawkins lived the last years of his life, for a gathering of A Course in Miracles students. So gratifying to hear Dr. Hawkins speak about the high calibration of ACIM, and to have him confirm the intersection of science and spirituality.

Monotonous

I found it difficult to follow along because the reader is very monotone. I truly want a refund of my credit. It mad no sense.
