Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior by David R. Hawkins

Power vs. Force presents David R. Hawkins’ ideas about consciousness, human behavior and the distinction he draws between inner power and coercive force. It invites readers to consider how attitudes, emotions and choices relate to spiritual development.

The book is a central statement of Hawkins’ consciousness framework. Its claims and interpretations are offered as part of his spiritual philosophy, not as independently established measures of a person’s worth or a substitute for psychological or medical assessment.
