Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The Seat of the Soul has sold millions of copies around the globe and is a #1 New York Times bestseller. This fully updated edition contains celebratory prefaces by Oprah Winfrey and Maya Angelou, a new Foreword by the author, as well as an extensive study guide to help readers find deeper meaning and fulfillment in their lives.

This iconic book encourages you to 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. In it, Gary Zukav takes you on a penetrating exploration of the new phase that humanity has entered: one where harmony, cooperation, sharing and reverence for life become more important than the ability to manipulate and control. 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 our relationships with meaning and purpose.

Excellent read, but a little outdated..

I really enjoyed this book, but I could not believe how outdated and offensive some of the language was. It is supposed to have been reviewed for its 25th year anniversary, but it still uses language as 'yellow people' and says things like casual sex can lead to being infected by AIDS. Surely these should have been edited? This is why I did not give 5 stars, as it does distract from the quality of the teachings and the message the book is trying to convey. But I did like the general philosophy and especially the study guide, which does not seem to come with a pdf option attached to the audiobook.. I would still recommend it to those who have spiritual inclination towards understanding the soul connection.

I had so many positive awakenings and changes

The Seat of the Soul is so well known as a cover. I've seen it so many times but never picked it up before. My sister sent me the book as a present in March 2020 as I have been struggling with depression and anxiety, as my soul has been calling me to become my true self and I've found the transition exhausting and emotional - I was making it harder than it needed to be.

I started to read it and quickly downloaded the audiobook as I craved to hear Oprah and Maya say their words in their voices and I was not disappointed!

I've replayed the Oprah Winfrey and Maya Angelou prefaces so many times!

The lessons learnt from this book really struck a chord and I've listened to it up numerous times while pottering at home. Highly recommend and hope you are moved by it like I was and still am.

disappointed

I read this book and I honestly do not know why . It is time I will never get back . It is Hocus Pocus at its finest verging on the ridiculous . Not one shred of evidence for this persons philosophy, what is worst is philosophy has a two sided presentation.
it nonsense in its truest form.

Useful and insightful

Great in essence but somewhat repetitive. Maybe it needs to be like that to apply the knowledge. Slowing down the narrative speed helped too.

A book which opens your mind to new knowledge

Gary Zhukov’s book has been with me in physical copy form for the last few years but I could not get to read it. The audio book helped me listen to all the knowledge and digest it Byte sized everyday. The journey of understanding continued over a period of time. It’s a book I will listen to again to capture the several nuggets of wisdom again
