In this audio version of the fourth book in the popular series, don Miguel Ruiz reminds readers of a profound yet simple truth: The only way to end emotional suffering and restore joy in living is to stop believing in lies - mainly about ourselves. Ruiz refers to the forbidden tree of knowledge, likening the abandonment of the true self to the fall from heaven. This fall, he says, occurred because of the loss of "the impeccability of the word," that simple yet potent prescription for countering the judgmental inner "Voice of Knowledge." Adhering to "the word" - saying only what one means, refusing to speak against one's self - allows anyone to quiet those inner tyrannical thoughts so that we can become aware of our Voice of Integrity. Knowledge then becomes an ally, and life becomes an expression of the authentic self.

November 11, 2009: Once again, DonMiguel has captured the essence of what keeps us stuck in unhealthy patterns and how to eliminate them and live authentically. His simple and direct style communicate to the reader how to uncover the beliefs that have held us hostage, and how to release them and forge new beliefs that enhance rather than limit our lives.
This book is a must read for anyone looking to make the positive changes in their life but aren't quite sure how to go about it. The book is thought provoking and engaging. The Voice of Knowledge inspires hope and the awareness that you are capable of making changes in your life if you are ready to let go of your old beliefs and limitations. Read on... it's worth reading multiple times because something new seems to be uncovered each time. Don Miguel's messages resonate on a very deep level.I Also Recommend: The Power of Slow.

November 06, 2008: This book is clearly written with very simple points to understand. I expected a little more though, but I definitely was not disappointed. The author offers up many useful ideas in a non-complicated way. It almost seems like common sense. I plan on reading his other book, "The Four Agreements" in the near future.
