The Seat of the Soul: 25th Anniversary Edition with a Study Guide

This 25th anniversary edition includes Prefaces by Oprah Winfrey and Maya Angelou, a new Foreword by Gary Zukav, website links, and a new Study Guide. The book encourages readers to become the authority in their own lives and explores how understanding power is shifting. Zukav argues that humanity is evolving from viewing power as the ability to manipulate and control external circumstances toward understanding power as alignment between personality and soul—what he calls authentic power. This evolution requires adopting soul-centered values: harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for life. Beginning with evolution, Zukav examines this new phase of human development and shows how to participate in it fully. He demonstrates how to bring meaning and purpose to everyday activities and relationships. The book has sold millions of copies worldwide and presents a vision of a new world emerging as more people adopt spiritual values.
