Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. In 1990 Zukav shifted from science (1980 National Book Award for The Dancing Wu Li Masters) to the realm of the soul (The Seat of the Soul, etc.), ultimately scaling the New York Times bestseller list four times. This new work claims to be written directly from his heart, and the personal, intimate tone fulfills that promise. The first half explores soul subjects, or observations of physical circumstances plus a recognition of what they mean. The second half answers philosophical ponderings labeled here as soul questions. In very brief essays both sections address key subjects: love, fear, choice, responsibility, letting go, trusting life's processes. In Zukav's understanding, we are all attending Earth School, where in repeated incarnations we are given opportunities to fulfill our soul's mission. He cogently asserts that as more of us gain multi-sensory perception-the ability to intuit meaning beyond data gathered by our five senses-we are coming to understand how our choices impact our every moment and therefore our soul's work. Zukav's Green Beret background seems to inform his writing style: blunt, terse, effective, commanding. Rich in insight and compassion, Zukav's advanced efforts will likely zoom to the top again. His probing choice-revenge or compassion-regarding September 11th is alone more than worth the cost of the book. (Oct. 23)

5.0 out of 5 stars The journey of the soul, October 25, 2007

This review is from: Soul to Soul: Communications from the Heart (Hardcover)

The journey of the soul from the beginning of Creation to its eventually reuniting with the Maker is one of struggle with many lessons in life. This book gives a very deep understanding on why situations occur in life and how to cope with the inward struggle that we all face. In my many years on this plane having read many Esoteric, Spiritual, and Religious books this book series is the best I have come across. Everybody, rather every body should read them. Of course I highly recommend all of Zukav's books and also the book Understanding: Train of Thought.

Gary gets better and better. If you're trying to establish a way to start the day on a positive note, but you're not a morning person, this is it. Every passage is only 1-1/2 to 2 pages long, incredibly profound but also understandable if you're not at your peak understanding in the mornings. Page 196 that addresses the question "How do I avoid being drawn into the chaos of others?" is worth the price of the book. Thank you, Gary, and keep up the good work!

I have read several books by Gary Zukav and they are great. I liked this book for its insights and relevance. Also, I liked the division of the book into the two major sections. I am using this book not infrequently as I confront challenges and opportunities. You should read this.
