About this listen

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)

A book to read more than once!

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

Your intentions are powerful. Choose and create them wisely.

Any additional comments?

I read this book years ago and decided to revisit it on Audible. It was incredible and I got a lot more out of it the second time through (perhaps I have evolved and matured since the first read). I will re-read this book again and take notes and it will be one of those books I revisit every few years. The Audible edition is read by the author, and I really enjoyed that. Overall, one of the top 10 books on my non-fiction self.

absolutely amazing! incredibly and transformative.

One of the absolute best audio books i have listened to. I was so attentive, curious and inspired by Gary Zukav's wisdom. I was able to go very deep and notice the transformations taking place within myself. chapter 21 and 22 really called and rang inner spiritual truth as well me. This is by far one of the best favorites for me. I loved it ! . Thank you dear spirit for such beauty. :) I highly recommend it!

It’s Gary!

I mean, what a great book. First of, be prepared to take a look at yourself, this book is a looking glass mirror. It’s a sobering read for me, as someone in their 20s it’s one of those reads that makes you stop and check your shit and refocus.

I recommend reading and discussing with others who might have read this. I did and it definitely help with the digestion of the read.
