About this book

Book Summary

Told in a beautifully simple, even poetic style, Soul to Soul is divided into two sections: Part One, “Soul Subjects,” consists of over 60 brief, enormously compelling, and often profoundly wise stories of people’s lives that lead us to examine our own experiences in new and perhaps life-changing ways. They are not at all abstract or laden with heavy terminology, but rather embody what might best be described as “felt experience” – specific insights and wisdom growing out of fresh life encounters that are truly meaningful to us. Part Two, “Soul Questions,” introduces an innovative format, different from anything Zukav has done before.

Media Reviews

"Starred Review. Rich in insight and compassion...his probing choice - revenge or compassion - regarding September 11th is alone more than worth the cost of the book." - Publishers Weekly.
