Product Description
"FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE MONUMENTAL BESTSELLER, THE SEAT OF THE SOULIn Soul to Soul Gary Zukav addresses some of the most fundamental questions about the human experience -- from "Why is life so difficult?" to "How can I learn to trust?" -- with profound answers that are of truly universal value.Soul to Soul provides penetrating insights that illuminate our lives and encourage us to examine our own experiences in new and perhaps life-changing ways. Combining true spirituality with profound psychological insight, Zukav also answers nearly one hundred of the most important questions about life that anyone could ask, including: * Do we have a destiny? * Can you prove that life exists after death? * What is the meaning of dreams? * How can I love without fear? * What is the role of soul in my life? * How does a person know what he was put on earth to do? * How can I forgive someone who betrays me again and again? * How can I really change? * Does the Universe care about us? Soul to Soul is profoundly simple, wise, and poetic, a listening experience to return to again and again for guidance and inspiration."

 What research shows about New Agers....true?- July 2, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Recent research (Aird, University of Queensland) found that those who practiced New Age spirituality had 50% "higher rates of anxiety, depression, and anti-social behavior" than those who believe in traditional religion, such as Christianity.
I was curious enough to read this book.
Many things disturbed me. His beliefs about evil especially so. If you notice something evil, say, the mass murder of 6 million Jews by the Nazis, and "if you are repulsed and frightened, you are judging what you encounter" (p 157). Zukav insists you are "joining" evil if you judge it. Worse, "if you react self-righteiously to evil, look inside for the very thing that so agitates you, and you will find it" (p 157).
Nonsense. If I am repulsed and frightened by mass murder I am not joining it. Nor is the evil somehow inside me because I react this way.
He claims that "Judgment has an emotional charge to it. It makes one person a victim and another a villain" (p 192). Why, of course, how stupid of humanity to think that the murdered Jews were victims and the Nazis villains.
His winter and summer solstices reminded me forcibly of Druidism, whose reliance on human sacrifice so horrified the ancient Romans that they banned the religion.
The author talks about an "Earth School" (p 91) as if there was evidence of such a thing. And reincarnation. And destiny. He borrows from dozens of belief systems, all of which contradict one another, and ends up with a mushy mess that relies on good feelings to solve all problems.
Aird studied 3700 young people and concluded that New Age and self focused religions may undermine a person's mental health. But of course she was just being judgmental.
 This is a keeper February 3, 2008

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 all of Gary Zukav's books and I find Soul to Soul to be his best. It follows Seat of the Soul with nourishing meat for the Soul that is easy to understand and fills you with what is needed for your Spiritural Growth. What a journey.

I am a huge fan of Gary's and this follow in his tradition of fabulous thoughtful books. I do not think it was as good as his other titles but it was an easier read for those who are starting to re-evaulate their thinking.
wisdom and compassion November 16, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I like the structure of this book; the chapter titles are honest, direct, and poetic. The "Soul Subject" discussion offers readers opportunities to connect with the themes without being didactic. The rich lyricism of the writing makes the reading experience fluid and reflective. I found myself skipping around in the book to read sections with topics I found intriguing and then going back to read the book in sequential order. The message of thinking, acting intentionally to develop authentic power and the reminder that we are all on a collective journey to develop wisdom and compassion weave through every analogy, narrative, and response.
The book's conversational tone is inviting, sincere, and powerful.
