Educational and Transformational!

Revisado: 08-12-22

I have read five of Dr. David R Hawkins MD’s books. I have gotten a great deal out of all of them. I don’t agree with everything he says, for instance, I find his stance on heavy metal music, hip hop music, and AA to be problematic, but I’m willing to chalk that up to his perspective given the times these works came out. Many things have changed since these works were written. Honestly though, the fact that the book contains things I don’t agree with only seem to further emphasize and validate everything that did align with my life’s experience, which was by and large the vast majority of the contents of this and all the other books of his I’ve read. I would say that “letting go” is perhaps the best introduction to his books, as I find it to be the most accessible and least “out there.” I might not have gotten as much out of this book if it had been the first of his that I’d read. That being said, I enthusiastically recommend this book for anybody interested in personal growth, going through an extraordinarily challenging time in their life, coping with copious feelings of loss and despair, or anyone seeking to escape the doldrums of stagnation or embrace an entirely new approach to interpersonal and spiritual relationships of all kinds.

Solid content, I didn’t mind his narration voice

Revisado: 06-18-22

I can completely see why some would be put off by Dr Hawkin’s narration, it didn’t bother me in the slightest. His voice reminds me of the quintessential monotone cadence of actor Ben Stein, and the content is engaging enough that I I don’t mind. I do tend to listen to books just a tick faster than normal, so I suppose that helps. I have read other books by him and am used to his voice. While I did notice content overlap, it didn’t feel redundant. On the contrary, it built upon what I’d already learned and digested from previous books of his.

I was especially moved by the end, where a detailed account of some of his spiritual like experiences mirrored my own current journey in a way that’s provided me not only crucial context, but also models a tangible way to communicate about it that’s more accessible to others in my life who have difficulty in understanding me.

I can and do recommend this book. But if it’s your first Hawkins book, I’d start with “letting go” which is in my opinion the best introduction to this material.

Could not sit through this book,

Revisado: 07-01-21

It made me break out in hives. My brother had recommended it and I am still wondering why. I didn’t make it past the first few minutes of this debacle of a book.
