Power vs. Force

The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior

By: Dr. David R. Hawkins

Narrated by: Dr. David R. Hawkins

The publication of Power vs. Force by Sir David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., reveals to the general public secret information heretofore only shared by the author with certain Nobelists and world leaders.

Analyzing the basic nature of human thought and consciousness itself, the author makes available to everyone the key to penetrating the last barrier to the advancement of civilization and science and resolving the most crucial of all human dilemmas: how to instantly determine the truth or falsehood of any statement or supposed fact.

All human endeavors have the common goal of understanding or influencing human experience. To this end, man has developed numerous descriptive and analytical disciplines: morality, philosophy, psychology, and so on. Regardless of what branch of inquiry one starts from (philosophy, political theory, theology) all avenues of investigation eventually converge at a common meeting point: the quest for an organized understanding of the nature of pure consciousness.

To explain that which is simple can be difficult indeed. Much of this book is devoted to the process of making the simple obvious. If we can understand even one simple thing in depth, we will have greatly expanded our capacity for comprehending the nature of the universe and life itself.

Critic reviews

"A beautiful gift of writing...[You] spread joy, love, and compassion through what you write. The fruit of these three is peace." (Mother Teresa)

Life Changing...

Okay... the author should not have done the audio for his own book. His reading is awful BUT this book is amazing! If audio is your only option for this book then bare with him and get it. I bought the hard copy too so I could read over chapters that were hard to listen to. This book is a MUST! Practice patience with the reader.

Highly recommended!

This audiobook is fascinating. It's highly technical, so one must be willing to really focus on the content to truly 'get' what the author is talking about... If you are willing to do that...you will surely enjoy it. Great work!

Fascinating but Flawed

the content in Power v. Force is brilliant, enlightening and inspiring. the decision to have the author do the reading was unfortunate.

Fascinating subject. Awful narration.

Dr. Hawkins should stick to authoring & science. With his whiney, nasal, east coast-accented voice and monotone inflections, his narration quickly (like literally within a minute or two) becomes the point of focus rather than the content he's reading to his audience. It's unfortunate because the subject matter really is amazing. I'm sure the doc is a terrific human being but it's difficult to take him very serious when he sounds EXACTLY like Professor Zoidberg from "Futurama". All in all, tho, worth some time & patience to get to the meat of the topic. Even given the distractions I would still recommend this book.

Interesting topic narration is awfully hard to listen to
