About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The Seat of the Soul has sold millions of copies around the globe and is a #1 New York Times bestseller. This fully updated edition contains celebratory prefaces by Oprah Winfrey and Maya Angelou, a new Foreword by the author, as well as an extensive study guide to help readers find deeper meaning and fulfillment in their lives.

This iconic book encourages you to become the authority in your own life. It will change the way you see the world, interact with other people, and understand your own actions and motivations. In it, Gary Zukav takes you on a penetrating exploration of the new phase that humanity has entered: one where harmony, cooperation, sharing and reverence for life become more important than the ability to manipulate and control. Using his scientist’s eye and philosopher’s heart, Zukav shows us how to participate fully in this evolution, enlivening our everyday activities and all our relationships with meaning and purpose.

I rarely give a 5 star review. In order for me to do so a book needs to really have a deep impact on me. It needs to inspire me deeply and alter my perceptions. This is easily a 5 star book.

On my first attempt at listening to this book, I didn’t get all the way through. I wasn’t ready for the ideas and realisations it was giving me about my life, my reactions and my thoughts. One day recently I was drawn back to it, so I started it again and every day I would listen to 1hr minimum. I couldn’t stop. It’s a must read/listen for those who are ready.

Each chapter examines the layers that make up who we are. This is one of the most complete introductory books of its kind and I would recommend it to anyone starting a journey of self discovery.

This book should be a foundational reference text

I wish I had read this book earlier. Gary's concept is beyond any religion. It's about each everyone's soul and our own evolution. I feel enlightened and it certainly makes the rest of my journey more meaningful. I'll read/listen to the book again and again until reaching the other end.

Gary has lots of interviews on YouTube which can help anyone better undertand his book and findings.

You can choose your own speed (slower or faster) to listen and wind back or forward if you missed any part.

I read this book as recommended by Oprah and I learnt. I’m still learning. The wisdom in the book is an answer to a soul that has been searching for meaning for itself. I’m glad to be here.
