Publisher's summary

With the same extraordinary skill that he used to demystify scientific abstraction and the new physics, Gary Zukav, the award-winning author of The Dancing Wu Li Masters, here takes us on a brilliant and penetrating exploration of the new phase of evolution we have now entered.

With lucidity and elegance, Zukav explains that we are evolving from a species that pursues power based upon the perceptions of the five senses, external power, into a species that pursues authentic power, power that is based upon the perceptions and values of the spirit. He shows how the pursuit of external power has produced our survival-of-the-fittest understanding of evolution, generated conflict between lovers, communities, and superpowers, and brought us to the edge of destruction.

Using his scientist's eye and philosopher's heart, Zukav shows how infusing the activities of life with reverence, compassion, and trust makes them come alive with meaning and purpose. He illustrates how the emerging values of the spirit are changing marriages into spiritual partnerships, psychology into spiritual psychology, and transforming our everyday lives. The Seat of the Soul describes the remarkable journey to the spirit that each of us is on.

Critic reviews

"[Zukav's] high-minded synthesis is something more than old wine in a new bottle." ( Publishers Weekly)
"A remarkable treatment of thought, evolution, and reincarnation." ( Library Journal)

So much to learn

Would you consider the audio edition of The Seat of the Soul to be better than the print version?

I am listening again to catch more valuable information. Well written so it is much easier to understand.

suggested by my health coach!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. It was suggested by my health coach that I read this book so I may overcome some forgiveness issues and cleanse my own soul. It has been an eye opening account of how our souls operate and what we can do to enjoy the ride during this life.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Seat of the Soul?

I was touched most by the segment that explains the effects of negative thoughts toward others and their impact on the whole of our existence. It is a constant reminder that each thought has so much power and we must be diligent to be the positive energy we want to experience from others.

What about Gary Zukav’s performance did you like?

He speaks with firm, clear intentions.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

As I said above, the section that guides us into positive thoughts.

Life Changing for Those Who are Ready......

Few books have had the impact on my life as "Seat of the Soul". I recall reading this book 25 years ago and being very impressed with the depth and scope of the message Gary Zukav brought to our planet. I have always felt that this book brought my perception of our world to a place it had never been, even way back then. Yet, with two young daughters to raise and many other profound books along the way, I lost my focus on what I had learned when I read it so many years ago. So, I was browsing Audible for a book to use my monthly credit on and I came across Seat of the Soul and thought to myself "Well, I have already read it, is it worth using my credit on it?" As soon as I asked the question, my intuition spoke to me in a very strong way. It left no doubt that I needed to revisit this book again. So I started to listen to the book and have been put in a state of awe, in a state of humbleness and gratefulness. It is almost like my own Soul was speaking to me. I am not sure why, maybe because I have more experiences behind me, maybe it's the fact that Gary Zukav is reading his own words and it allows me to absorb the concepts that he is conveying more deeply, or because of the countless spirituality books that I have read over the decades, all I know is this audio version is bringing me to an understanding of myself and our world like I have ever perceived. The wisdom of this book is timeless. It is a gift to Humanity and those who open this gift with an open mind and an intention to evolve your Soul.... won't be disappointed.
