Product Description: "THE LONGEST JOURNEY YOU WILL MAKE IN YOUR LIFE IS FROM YOUR HEAD TO YOUR HEART." With the rare combination of profound psychological insight and deep spirituality that has already drawn millions of readers to his two great national bestsellers, The Seat of the Soul and Soul Stories, prizewinning author Gary Zukav now joins with his spiritual partner Linda Francis to help us develop a new emotional awareness that is central to our spiritual development. In The Seat of the Soul, Zukav brilliantly set forth his fundamental concepts, explaining how the expansion of human perception beyond the five senses leads to a new understanding of power as the alignment of the personality with the soul -- "authentic power." In Soul Stories, he showed how such concepts as harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for Life express themselves in other people's lives. Now, in The Heart of the Soul, he and Francis take the next major step forward in showing us the importance of emotional awareness in applying these concepts to our own daily lives.
Amazon.com Review: We are all students in the "Earth school," according to authors Gary Zukav and Linda Francis in The Heart of the Soul. And the time has come to create a whole new lesson plan. For thousands of years we were outwardly focused, as we mastered the tasks of cultivating food and building shelter. Unfortunately, we are still outwardly fixated, obsessively accumulating more wealth, material objects, and power. "What enabled our species to survive so long is now bad medicine. In fact, it is poison," according to Zukav and Francis. What we need now is an inward focus, in which we cultivate the heart and live in alignment with our souls.
As it turns out, The Heart of the Soul is a timely guidebook, with a release date exactly three months after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. "The pursuit of external power produces physical violence and destruction between nations. You can see this in every newscast," the authors write:
Billions of people live in poverty, are hungry, and suffer oppression, and brutality. Changing these circumstances requires our hearts. It requires the ability to feel the pain and joy of others, and to take their needs as seriously as we take our own.
And here is where the heart lessons come in. "As long as there are parts of yourself that reach outward to make you feel safe, valuable, and loved, you need to identify them and heal them." The authors include numerous exercises and activities to help readers feel and understand their emotions in order to "empower the soul" and live a more rewarding and joyful life. The words and intentions are indeed poignant and worthwhile. The numerous boxes, diagrams, and passages in bold print create a self-help structure that some will find simplistic and others will find inviting. --Gail Hudson
Nothing new This book is not much different than Seat of the Soul but it does explain Zukavs principles well. I bought this book several years ago and at the time I tried to incorporate some of his teaching (like looking at different aspects of my as a school) but it became to tedious. I have since read many other books that take a different (and to me more truthful/accurate) approach to the human condition and our purpose here on this earth. I would recommend reading the Conversations with God series by Neale Donald Walsch for a much different view of human existence.
A book that everyone should read! Gary Zukav has a very special message about life and a unique perspective in how to live it. I haven't read what he has to say in any other book. I also wish that all school systems would require this reading by their senior year. Our family uses the information from this book in our everyday life and it has helped all of us. We recommend it to everyone.
The heart of the Soul The book was delivered in a timely manner and in GREAT condition. Thank you
The Heart of The Soul I read this book in 2002 and enjoyed it so much. It is very interesting and helped me acquire more information about myself and my emotions. I am more conscious of my behavior and emotions. I highly recommend this book and any books by the authors. I am a massage therapist and now I am able to share the life-changing information with my clients. The two authors, Gary Zukav and Linda Francis did an excellent job by delivering a simple, yet useful book for everyone to enjoy. The information may seem unrealistic initially, although when applied to everyday living, it works.
Heart of the Soul there is nothing in the book that you do not know deep down, but often it takes someone elses words to click in. This is a great book if you want to explore what is not working in your life and takes steps to making changes and adjustments to creating a happier, more fulfilling life. It requires courage, time and non-self judgement. Step by step, one day at atime
