About this audiobook

The anniversary edition of this beloved bestseller is celebrated in Prefaces by Oprah Winfrey and Maya Angelou and contains a new Foreword by the author, website links, and a new Study Guide to help readers find even deeper meaning and fulfillment.

The Seat of the Soul encourages you become the authority in your own life. It will change the way you see the world, interact with other people, and understand your own actions and motivations. Beginning with evolution, Gary Zukav takes you on a penetrating exploration of the new phase humanity has entered: we are evolving from a species that understands power as the ability to manipulate and control—external power—into a species that understands power as the alignment of the personality with the soul—authentic power. Our evolution requires each of us to make the values of the soul our own: harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for Life. Using his scientist’s eye and philosopher’s heart, Zukav shows us how to participate fully in this evolution, enlivening our everyday activities and all of our relationships with meaning and purpose.

The Seat of the Soul has sold millions of copies around the globe, and as it changes lives, more and more people begin to live by the values of the spirit. Indeed, a new world is emerging, and this book brings its message to you.

Ratings and reviews

Right off the bat, the author claims to know how the universe works based on what he presents as facts instead of theories. We're supposed to trust him because he has "seen beyond" and is way more spiritually advanced than us. We're also asked to trust him because even though nothing that he is teaching in the book is scientifically proveable, he used to be a scientist... a woke one. He has spent many years in solitude studying cutting edge subjects & is therefore a respected, analytical mind..

The Seat of the Soul is not a book that can be read once and forgotten. It is a book that requires openness and curiosity from the reader, as well as a willingness to examine their own beliefs and actions. The book reveals its wisdom gradually, as the reader is ready to receive its messages. It is a book that can transform the reader's life and soul, if they allow it to do so.

Revolutionary!! I can't stop listening and for sure I am not the same person after I learnt about authentic power!!
