Overview

David R. Hawkins doesn’t just write a book; he lays out a new way of understanding human behavior, success, and even the meaning of life.

At its heart, Power vs. Force explores the energetic dynamics of consciousness and how they shape our personal lives and collective reality.

Hawkins challenges you to rethink how you approach challenges:

• Are you relying on force, a kind of push-and-pull manipulation?

• Or are you tapping into power, which flows naturally and aligns with truth?

This book is part spiritual guide, part scientific exploration, and part philosophical manifesto. Get the book here.

The Foundation: Power vs. Force

Imagine two leaders:

1. One rules with fear, using force to impose control (think authoritarian dictators).

2. Another leads with integrity and compassion, drawing people toward a shared vision (power).

Both might achieve results, but there’s a critical difference. Force is draining, unstable, and breeds resistance. Power is effortless, sustainable, and transformative.

Here’s how Hawkins defines it:

• Force: Comes from ego. It relies on external means like coercion, manipulation, or dominance. It’s exhausting and short-lived.

• Power: Comes from alignment with universal truths. It’s inner strength, moral authority, and authenticity. Power inspires, uplifts, and has staying power.

Example: Think about the difference between a company that pressures employees to overwork (force) versus one that inspires creativity and innovation through mutual respect (power).
