Power vs. Force by David R. Hawkins

Product Details

About the Book

Power vs. Force sets out to uncover what psychiatrist and spiritual teacher David R. Hawkins calls the hidden determinants of human behavior — the invisible forces that shape our decisions, relationships, and collective actions far more than we realize. Drawing on decades of clinical experience treating schizophrenia and addiction, alongside research spanning psychology, spirituality, and kinesiology, Hawkins introduces a foundational distinction: "power" is aligned with truth, compassion, and life-affirmation, while "force" relies on coercion, fear, and control to achieve its ends, ultimately proving unsustainable and destructive.

At the heart of the book is Hawkins's now-famous "Map of Consciousness," a logarithmic scale from 1 to 1,000 that charts human awareness from its lowest, most forceful states — shame, guilt, apathy, fear, anger — up through courage, the critical tipping point at 200, and onward to acceptance, reason, love, and peace at the highest levels. Hawkins argues that raising one's level of consciousness doesn't just bring personal fulfillment and happiness, but makes a person a genuine net positive for the world around them, contributing more than they take. Blending Hawkins's medical background with his broader spiritual philosophy and his method of testing truth through muscle response, Power vs. Force offers readers both a provocative theoretical framework and a practical invitation to examine which force — power or force — truly drives their own thoughts, actions, and life choices.
