  <default_description>Gary Zukav's American Book Award-winning &lt;i&gt;The Dancing Wu Li Masters&lt;/i&gt; masterfully introduces the layman to quantum and particle physics, as well as Einstein's relativity theories. With a similar dose of amiable, easy-to-understand prose, Zukav guides readers into the spiritual realm in his bestselling &lt;i&gt;The Seat of the Soul&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;p&gt;  Zukav questions the Western model of the soul, alleging that the human species is in the midst of a great transformation, evolving from a species that pursues power based upon the perceptions of the five senses--&quot;external power&quot;--to one that pursues power based upon perceptions of the soul--&quot;authentic power.&quot; He believes that humans are immortal souls first, physical beings second, and that once we become conscious of this transformation--once we align our personalities with our soul--we will stimulate our spiritual growth and become better people in the process. This insightful, lucid synthesis of modern psychology and new-age principles has been described as the &quot;physics of the soul.&quot; Who better to explain such heady concepts than Gary Zukav?  </default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[There are two ways to look at the world.  The first is that we are all on our own.  The other is that we are all connected.  This book explores the second through stories.  This book is easy to read and reads quickly.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I loved this book and since have read other books of Dr. Zukav. This was a fascinating but difficult read. I began taking very detailed notes and then gave up on that and it read much faster. I plan to re read this book just as soon as the person I lent it to returns it. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is my superlative, #1 all-time favorite book.  It reads more like a text book but the information in this book unlike a good book, which changes your life for a week, will change your life, forever.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is New Age rhetoric.  There is nothing substantial in this book.  It is written assumptions into religious nonsense and goes nowhere.  I also take issue with the claim that animals have no soul.<br/><br/>Don't bother.  ]]></body>
