One of my favorite books of all time!

"Power vs. Force" by Dr. David R. Hawkins (ISBN: 1561709336). There are some very interesting and fresh ideas in this book that have ramifications for personal relationships, business and societal shifts. Enjoy!





· Power arises from meaning.

· Force automatically creates counterforce.

· Force is a movement - it goes from here to there against opposition. Power on the other hand is still.

· Force always moves against something, whereas power doesn't move against anything at all.

· Power gives life and energy - force takes these away.

· Power is associated with compassion and makes us feel positively about ourselves. Force is associated with judgment and contributes to negative feelings about ourselves.

· Force has transient goals. Power motivates us endlessly.

· The disillusionment of emptiness comes from failing to align one's life with the principles from which power originates.

· Love, compassion and forgiveness, which may be mistakenly thought of as submissive by some, are, in fact, profoundly empowering.

· Genius is often expressed through a change of perception - a modifying of context or paradigm.

· All stress is internally generated by one's attitudes. It isn't life's events, but one's reaction to them, that activates the symptoms of stress.
