Summary: The Path of the Soul's Progress Towards Its Purpose
Review: This book is unusually effective in raising spiritual issues into normal awareness, and does so in a friendly and pleasant way. Each story builds nicely on the preceding one to tickle your memory about experiences that you have had or heard about, and to raise your awareness about the questions these experiences raise. You will undoubtedly gain new insights and new ideas for addressing these issues the next time you run into them. Everything is done very gently, so you can decide for yourself what you want to believe and pay attention to. The book is both extremely deep and considerate at the same time.The theme of each story is basically built around the concept of uncovering what is in your soul, and then helping your conscious self to come into alignment with your soul. There is a beautiful analogy in one of the last stories in the book about what it is like to go from being in the desert (where life is harsh, dangerous, and full of fear) into the land of milk and honey where everything is rich, comfortable, and relaxed. When we feel like we are in the desert, we are deserting our soul's purpose. When we feel like things are wonderful, we are at one with that purpose. Professional editors tell writers not create books like this. They say that readers need to have all of the dots connected. Well, although the book is not weighted down with lots of logical support for the theses that are developed here, I found that the stories were beautifully connected together -- far better than if they were all part of one story. All but a few of the stories resonated with me. I look forward to thinking more about the ones that did not, in order to discern their intended meaning. One of the best parts of the book dealt with relationships, and the ways that two people can come into and out of harmony with each other at the spiritual level. This gave me a whole new way to think about my relations with others, one that I cherish. If you love books about spiritual issues, you must read this one. If you are not sure whether you want to read about spiritual issues, you should give this book a try. It will fit comfortably with what you would like to think about. If you think you don't want to explore spiritual issues, perhaps you should give this book a try anyway. It may at least help you better understand people who are interested in developing their spirituality.

Summary: Thanks for another great book, Amazon!
Review: Reading "Soul Stories" is like having a gentle conversation with a warm friend. I came across the title browsing on Amazon and was struck by the enthusiastic reviews. Gary Zukav writes about living from one's intuition as a new possibility as we emerge from a time where humans have lived so much more from their minds. He shares it as a possibility in his simple and honest writing style. I was struck by a passage in which he discusses how to truly live your own life, what he calls "authentic power." He writes: "Creating authentic power is like baking bread. First you have to want to do it. Then you need to follow the recipe....As with bread, it's your own loaf that you are baking. Unlike bread, no one else can bake it for you." That has a strong ring of truth. ....

Summary: WONDERFUL BOOK FULL OF GOOD INSIGHTS
Review: I found Gary's book to be a delight in reading. I appreciated Gary's sharing the many beautiful and touching stories of his and other's life experiences. He has many spiritual insights on how to live a meaningful and satisfyng life. I noticed another reviewer recommending a book called "WORKING ON YOURSELF DOESN'T WORK: A BOOK ABOUT INSTANTANEOUS TRANSFORMATION" by Ariel and Shya Kane. THIS IS A GREAT BOOK! I found the Kanes' book to be an easy to read practical guide to living in the moment which inturn has transformed my life. Their writting is humorous, insightful and inspiring. I have read this book a number of times since first buying it, and every time I come away with a renewed PASSION FOR LIFE, including my work and relationships. I too whole heartedly recommend the Kanes' book for anyone interested in having a WONDERFUL, LOVING, REWARDING, FUN LIFE.

Summary: Discovering the Soul
Review: One cannot discuss either of these two magnificent books of Gary Zukav - Soul Stories and The Seat of the Soul without another. They are two different powerful information sources but they actually represent one profound insight first given to the readers as a philosophical outlook in The Seat of the Soul and then explained and enriched by beautiful examples as a sincere spiritual monolog in Soul Stories. What's striking is that the author of these delightful books full of love, spiritual light and true humanism, once served as a US Army Special Forces (Green Beret) officer during Vietnam War. Indeed one cannot fight evil with evil, because there is no sense in fighting darkness with darkness. Only love, only light can defeat darkness. Read these two life-changing books at the same time. What might seem unclear in The Seat of the Soul will be most probably beautifully explained in Soul Stories. But do not just read them, savor each single page, make your own conclusions, recall your own "spiritual stories" and you will never forget these books. Good Luck on your journey of Discovering the Soul.

Summary: Soul Stories
Review: This book was very inspiring. I have been doing my own soul searching for some time now and I found the stories enlightening.I really have a different perspective on things. I've been asking myself questions and listening to my inner voice for guidance, it takes some getting used too. I watch Gary whenever he is on Oprah.

Summary: Truly Enlightening
Review: I started to read this book on a friend's recommendation and found that after reading each short chapter I started thinking about life in a new and more inspiring sense. It's a straight forward book, but also contains as much depth of thought as you want to contribute to it. Very highly recommended.

Summary: This book is a gem!
Review: What a wonderful gift Gary Zukav has given us! Its simplicity is its brilliance. For those who have read Gary's other book "The Seat of the Soul" and found it to be a little hard to comprehend, "Soul Stories" has taken all of the most complex concepts of that book and just makes them so much easier to understand. If you haven't read the Seat of the Soul yet, this might be a good place for you to start to get a foundation in Zukav's concepts, but the great thing about this book is that it is so readable and yet stands on its own as an explanation of the concepts of the soul and the universe. I want to thank Gary Zukav for his kind words that have meant so much to me, and I have a feeling that he will see this review if he is meant to see it.
