The Seat of the Soul ― 25th Anniversary Edition With a Study Guide

A foreword by Oprah Winfrey and a preface by Maya Angelou update the twenty-fifth anniversary edition of the #1 New York Times bestselling classic of the New Age category, along with a new introduction by the author, a discussion group guide, and website links for deeper study.

With the same masterful skill he used to demystify scientific abstraction and quantum physics in his award-winning Dancing with the Wu Li Masters, Gary Zukav takes us on a penetrating exploration of the new phase of evolution humanity has entered.

With lucidity and elegance, Zukav explains that 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 now 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 how infusing our activities with compassion and trust enlivens them 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.

A new species is being born inside of us. Seat of the Soul is about this birth, what it means, and how we can participate in it joyfully.
