Who is David R. Hawkins MD/PHD?

Four shelves, a single book. Letting Go is filed by our catalogue under personal development, religion and spirituality, business and careers, and society all at once, and that spread is no indexing accident. It is the signature of a certain kind of writing, the sort that treats an inner mechanism as the thing which explains the outer world.

The byline itself sets the frame. Medical and doctoral credentials sit alongside the name, and the work carries the tone that tends to go with them: a system proposed, described and then applied, rather than a set of anecdotes loosely gathered. Whether that system convinces is a matter for the listener, but its ambition is not in doubt.

Letting Go comes in at over twelve hours, read by Peter Lownds PhD. That is a substantial commitment for a book of ideas, and it is worth knowing in advance that material of this kind is rarely designed to be consumed in a single pass.

Listener marks are high, if drawn from a modest sample. The usual way in is to take a chapter, sit with it, and come back, rather than pushing through to the end for the sake of completion. The panel below shows what is currently available under this name.
