About this listen
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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Inspiring and wondrous - a first class work!
This book has enabled me to see the world, people, and spirituality in a completely new way. Dr David Hawkins has managed to explain timeless spiritual reality in a way that can make sense to the modern, thinking, intelligent individual. Having read Power vs. Force I went on to read most of Dr Hawkin's other works and also listened to most of his lectures. I have found his knowledge, experience and skilled teaching to be invaluable and the lectures are often humorous and entertaining as well as inspiring.
There is a body of work called "The Great Books of the Western World"; I believe Power vs. Force should be number 1 in the list.
Listening to the author read this masterwork adds to the experience.
You may wish to hunt around on the internet to get a copy of the scale of consciousness as he refers to this and seeing it helps to make sense of it. You can either Google images for "Hawkins scale of consciousness" and it is possible to order a copy from www.veritaspub.com.

Great book poor narration
It's such a shame this experience was spoilt by the David Hawkins narrating. He kind of sounds drunk. Almost like he can just mumble words he's not sure of. A woman reads about the author at the end. What a shame she didn't do the whole book. The book is amazing and he is a great man. The book is so good I will listen to it again dispite the narration.

Great insights but inaccessible to the masses
I typically prefer it if the author is the narrator of their audiobook. In this case I make an exception. Given that I am not enlightened and that I do not possess absolute mental discipline, my mind still gets distracted from listening.
The drone of Hawkins voice doesn't help to keep my mind engaged in the book and so I was left to use will power to keep my mind from wandering. A professional voice actor with a more colourful delivery would have solved this problem and perhaps made the book more acceptable to more people.
I titled this review inaccessible to the masses because of the intellectual complexity with which it is written.
I expect readers of this book will have the same complaints as they do about Eckhart Tolle and Deepak Chopra..... too intellectual.
Surely a spirital teacher who wanted to make the greatest impact would appeal to the lowest common denominator to ensure that readers of all reading and intelligence levels would be able to benefit from the material? That's not what's happening here.
I can imagine many people who started reading this book up did not finish because the material was too heavy. The ideas are not complex but the delivery, I feel, is.

Interesting book but very dense
A lot of insights here were very dense and some abstract. The author was very monotone. Took me intense focus to try absorb it all. I really liked it but just a heads up that’s it’s not a casual audiobook so be prepared I guess. Very interesting though, I will do more research on the author and this topic.

Great
Very insightful and profound content! Must read. But indeed as wonderful David Hawkings is, it’s very hard to listen to him. Not because his voice isn’t nice but because the tone and pronunciation is difficult. It took me just a bit longer to read, but really worth it.
