Power vs. Force by Dr. David Hawkins

A healing psychiatrist’s attempt to explain human behavior through the strange lens of particle physics.

Dr. David Hawkins is a healing psychiatrist who devoted his work to human behavior. His prime focus is the human dilemmas an individual faces in everyday life — the most common of them being our inability to decide the truthfulness of a situation. In his book Power vs. Force, he uses theoretical concepts of particle physics to explain human behaviors, by correlating the two.

Portrait of Dr. David Hawkins
Power vs. Force — where behavior meets particle physics.

Across his long and profound career, Dr. Hawkins worked diligently to find the correlation between human behavior and the concepts of non-linear dynamics, as well as chaos theory.

No wonder such a correlation seems intimidating — and quite naturally, the results are surprising. The book explores the relationship between human behaviors and the theories of particle physics: a fascinating work comprising the details of each concept used, alongside the behavior of human beings in instantly determining the truth or falsehood of a situation.

An individual goes through a number of behavioral changes while trying to ascertain a situation. Similarly, the theoretical concepts of particle physics and chaos theory concern the properties, interactions and relationships of the various subatomic particles of matter. Correlating these two is the main theme of his work, and the highlight of the book. The findings are bound to intrigue, which makes for a good read — filled with knowledge and enthusiasm.

Dr. Hawkins jots down, step by step, how a person resolves the dilemma of judging a particular situation. His studies support human behavior with respect to the theories of particle physics and non-linear concepts. The book is the outcome of his experiences and research work — an insight into the mindset of individuals.
