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.

Excellent!

I loved this book. After listening, immediately began implementing the principles discussed in the book. My life started changing. It's not easy to rewrite the lies we have been told our entire life but I want a better life so I will keep on trying to change.

Another message on the path to finding inner peace

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

Yes, the Miguel Ruiz clan continues to find more depth in explaining the journey of life in simplistic, yet infinite detail. The art of practicing and relearning is made easier and seems like a natural progression when combined with all of their teachings.

What other book might you compare The Voice of Knowledge to and why?

The Four Agreements

Which scene was your favorite?

Visualizing the grandmothers dream process, going back to their origin of teaching techniques. You can almost imagine being there and see it for yourself. In your own dream.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Owning Your Voice Of Knowledge

Any additional comments?

Easy to follow, listen too and revisit.

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.
