Publisher's summary

"This guy does next level stuff. I have worked with him and I have no idea how or why he is able to do some of the things I have witnessed. Science is just catching up with biohacking. It’s time to start studying spirit hacking and how Shaman Durek can achieve the tangible results he achieves." (Dave Asprey, author of the New York Times best seller The Bulletproof Diet, Silicon Valley investor, and technology entrepreneur)

This program is read by the author, and includes a foreword read by Dave Asprey.

In Spirit Hacking: Six Shamanic Keys to Reclaim Your Personal Power, Transform Yourself, and Light Up the World Shaman Durek, a sixth-generation shaman, shares life-altering shamanic keys allowing you to tap into your personal power. Through new information you will banish fear and darkness from your life in favor of light, positivity, and strength.

Shaman Durek’s bold and sometimes controversial wisdom shakes loose our assumptions about ourselves and the very world around us. He ultimately teaches us how to step fearlessly out of this Blackout (the age of darkness we are currently experiencing) and access a place of fierce empowerment by use of tools and techniques of timeless Shamanic tradition. This transformation is both personal and collective; as individuals step out of darkness and begin to experience the light, we bring our loved ones and communities out of the shadows as well.

Shaman Durek inherited a rich legacy of ancient wisdom and now shares this knowledge for a modern context. He advises everyone from celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Nina Dobrev to innovative executives such as Bullet-Proof Coffee founder Dave Asprey.

Spirit Hacking shatters listeners’ complacency, giving them tools to navigate the tumultuous times in which we find ourselves. We will emerge from this period happier, lighter, and more vibrant than ever before.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I really wanted to like this book...

Shaman Durek gets it right for the most part... I can’t argue much with what he says regarding spirituality. But the delivery is so self-righteous and condescending that I can barely tolerate listening to him. His over-dramatic performance is so off-putting.

I did force myself to listen to the entire thing, hoping to encounter a gem of learning that would make it all worth while. But the content is scattered and unorganized, making the process drudgery and the outcome disappointing. SKIP THIS BOOK. So many other books with a more respectful tone and fewer gratuitous F-words.

Dramatic presentation is distracting.

After listening to this I have found the presentation by the author to be very distracting. What could and should be a book of great content comes off as a theatrical display of frustrated acting school exercises. The content is repetitious and the tone is just too much to prevent me from finishing the book. I'm sure it's good for some people but it frustrated me.

I was kind of disappointed

Too dramatic reading for me personally.
Some good tips, mostly it’s a book on the authors personal stories.
This is not a good book for people looking for advanced spiritual tips.

wow

this guy is very full of himself, i cant get past his giant ego to learn anything. we are all mere peasants

Very mixed feelings

I downloaded this book for a 6hr train ride so when I started it, after boarding the train, I felt a bit trapped. The train has WiFi but not download quality WiFi. Once I was 6 hours in I was committed despite reservations but honestly if I hadn't been trapped I would never have made it that far. I came to genuinely appreciate the message of this book, but the delivery was painful. My vocabulary does not include words like 'lit', 'lit train', 'bobble heads' or 'pop rocks' and it was incredibly hard to take a book promising depth seriously with these words or phrases repeated constantly. If you can get past the delivery there is some wisdom though. Trigger warning to anyone not comfortable hearing the 'everything happens for a reason' concept applied to childhood sexual assault.

Some good perspectives in there but almost couldn’t finish it

Goes on a lot about things he knows little to nothing about, but positions himself as an authority by saying “[such and such] IS A THING”. I don’t doubt that he is someone with practical shamanic tools who has garnered a lot of insight from his varied experiences with spirits, etc, but at the end of the day he is human and not all-knowing.

This book is a joke.

This guy is clearly a liar and scammer. He also talks like a valley girl but I digress. It’s as simple as this... If you’re a divine messenger and you’re doing all this important work that’s meant to save humanity from “the darkness,” why am I paying for this book? If you’re so holy... so in tune with the “spirits”.... so righteous... why are you making people pay for events? Shouldn’t everyone have a chance to become enlightened, etc? It would be free to distribute your message via the internet. Instead, you choose to snap Instagram pictures with Gwenyth Paltrow and try and sell your bullshit to first-world people without any real problems. You can be Tony Robbins or you can be Buddha... you can’t be both. This guy is a sociopath.

LIFE CHANGING AND UNIQUE

I’ve read over 50 books on self-help/spirituality ranging from Eckhart Tolle to the Dalai Lama but I can say with the utmost confidence this is the best of the best.

Shaman Durek is one of the most special humans on this planet today. His message is SO MUCH STRONGER than being present or living in the now. He does not spend hours preaching meditation or mindfulness, instead, he offers unique wisdom that will instantly shake your outlook on life.

This book can change the world. I can’t imagine anyone reading this book and ever being the same.

If you are like me and have read all the spiritual gurus with little life improvement, I would recommend hopping on the lit train with Shaman Durek.

Truth Unapologetically Delivered...

No matter who you are, unless you're Shaman Durek haha, this has plenty to teach you about spirituality and the workings of the universe, different shamanic traditions, what's going on in the world today, just so many relevant things....

If you're familiar with Soulvana (a Mindvalley meditation app) then you've probably come across Shaman Durek before - in that case, you'd already know about & have experienced his undeniably "connected" approach with healing, at least as far as one can experience through listening to him guide a meditation, or an immersion, as Soulvana calls it. NO OTHER SOUL I have ever even heard of has the kind of vision of and into, language to describe, and effective ability at actually working WITH the spirit world to produce real results. The Audiobook was released today, the only one I have ever pre-ordered, and I'm on Chapter 6 so far... I had to stop to write this.. The truth he LAYS down in this alone, ASIDE from the hacks, can change your life - that's his hope in writing this book. Everything he says THE WORLD NEEDS to hear... either this will all be completely congruent with you and further inspire you or it will be full of truths you won't know how to accept and within Minutes you will hate it and be talking crap about it. If you find yourself hating it, I STRONGLY URGE YOU to just take a break and please try coming back at a later time..
If you'd like, reach out to me on Facebook and discuss how you feel about what you've listened to so far, because I promise - I used to NEVER think I would believe in this kind of stuff either... I get it.. search the email address [e-mail] on Facebook and message me on messenger. (You're also welcome to if you like the book...) I won't just try changing your mind either... But we all have vastly different life experiences and those who have never lived with a disability simply can't understand their struggles....it's not their fault they can't understand, they just won't be able to without the experience. It's the same thing .. Without the life experience, it's very hard to understand. Unfortunately though, too often people decide to take the stance of maintaining a very closed mind, instead of just ENTERTAINING the possibility - which is VASTLY different from believing in or even agreeing from someone else's new point of view. It's just a way of tricking your own mind into making sure you aren't the ignorant jacka** in the situation...
My advise to anyone who dislikes it:
Entertain the possibility if you can... or if not, take a break and come back in a couple months - You may find you've grown more than you even realized. Furthermore, research the things he claims..... when we don't actively seek out new information, we probably won't find it. If anything in here sounds ridiculous to you, go to YouTube and search for the topic.... I'm not claiming YT is full of all truth, but what I am saying is that this book is obviously a spiritual resource, and I do know that YouTube is flooded with users who retain a lot of knowledge in the spiritual awakening arena... check Google, books at the library, whatever... my advice is to check it out because the things he's talking about will be substantiated, I assure you, BEFORE they are dismissed. You may just need external convincing of that.

Definitely worth a listen

There are many observations in this book that are enlightening and some.of the spirit hacks really seem as if they would be useful. It would be great if there was a recap of those at the end or if the audible technology afforded a way to collect the details of each ritual so it could be accessed separately (I know I'm not going to go back thru the entire book to find them and then create lists of materials but if that existed I might use it).

Regarding the tone and content, some of the author's assumptions (that all doctors prescribing medication get giant kickbacks) are overblown or inaccurate. Just as judging a shaman for living in the Hollywood Hills is small-minded, so are many of the judgemental absolutes he puts forward about how ALL of some aspect of humanity is ONE way. (Usually bad). The notion that we all collectively create reality is true but his solutions (dream bigger, don't litter, hug the right way) really don't solve those problems. I pick up other people's litter and the littering just continues. I may do everything "right" by his terms and yet the world is still a mess. So what then? While I appreciate the remarks on fake spirituality and the shallowness of certain pervasive trends, too much energy is spent bashing fakery, and not enough on deeper journeys of the self. The examples of how certain clients were helped (the financial wizard who was miserable comes to mind) by his process are the most helpful as are the passages on alignment. I suppose I was hoping to hear things I hadn't heard before (the matrix is evil, government doesn't protect us, etc.) and more traction in the takeaways. But instead, I remember very little of the positive techniques I was hoping to gain. What resonates is a endless litany of how awful we are, which I do not believe was the author's intent. But you should decide for yourself.

Read it and use it.

Loved it. Inspiring. Fill of useful halls to actually put into practice to make the dream a reality. Written with compassion
And hope. Love that the author read it himself.

Timely

The book that will answer your questions, affirm your thoughts and ignite you to continue working to heal the collective. It is lit!
