More About This Book

Overview

Who are you? When you start to explore this question, you find out how elusive it really is. Are you a physical body? A collection of experiences and memories? A partner to relationships? Each time you consider these aspects of yourself, you realize that there is much more to you than any of these can define. The Untethered Soul, spiritual teacher Michael Singer explores the question of who we are and arrives at the conclusion that our identity is to be found in our consciousness, the fact of our ability to observe ourselves, and the world around us. By tapping into traditions of meditation and mindfulness, Singer shows how the development of consciousness can enable us all to dwell in the present moment and let go of painful thoughts and memories that keep us from achieving happiness and self-realization.

This book, copublished with the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), offers a frank and friendly discussion of consciousness and how we can develop it. In part one, he examines the notion of self and the inner dialogue we all live with. Part two examines the experience of energy as it flows through us and works to show readers how to open their hearts to the energy of experience that permeates their lives. Ways to overcome tendencies to close down to the rest of the world are the subject of part three. Enlightenment, the embrace of universal consciousness, is the subject of part four. And finally, in part five, Singer returns to daily life and the pursuit of unconditional happiness. Throughout, the book maintains a light and engaging tone, free from heavy dogma and prescriptive religious references. The easy exercises that figure in each chapter help readers experience the ideas that Singer presents.

What People Are Saying

Bikram Choudhury
"The Untethered Soul, in a clear practical manner, shows the reader how to achieve the real goal of human life-self-realization."--(Bikram Choudhury, Founder of Bikram Yoga and worldwide Yoga College of India)
Deepak Chopra
"In the book, The Untethered Soul, Michael Singer takes you step-by-step through the process of Gyana, the Yoga of the Intellect, to the Source. Moreover, he does it with elegant simplicity. Read this book carefully and you will get more than a glimpse of eternity."--(Deepak Chopra, Author, Life After Death: The Burden of Proof)
James O'Dea
"In lucid, unadorned prose, Michael Singer delivers the essence of the great spiritual teachings of the Ages. Each chapter of The Untethered Soul is an instructive meditation on the binds of the human condition and how each and every knot can be gracefully untied so that our souls may fly. The accuracy and simplicity of this work is a measure of its pure mastery."--(James O'Dea, President of the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS))
Ray Kurzweil
"East is East and West is West, but Michael Singer bridges these two great traditions in a radiant treatise on how to succeed in life from our spiritual quest to our everyday tribulations. Freud said that life was composed of love and work. With great eloquence, wit, and compelling logic, Singer's brilliant book completes this thought by showing them to be two poles of the same selfless devotion."--(Ray Kurzweil, Inventor, National Medal of Technology recipient and author of The Age of Spiritual Machines, The Singularity is Near, and other books)
Yogi Amrit Desai
"This is a seminal book that quite frankly is in a class by itself. In a simple, yet paradoxically profound way, Michael Singer takes the reader on a journey that begins with consciousness tethered to the ego, and ends having taken us beyond our myopic, contained self-image to a state of inner freedom and liberation. Michael Singer's book is a priceless gift to all who have futilely searched and yearned for a richer, more meaningful, creative life."--(Yogi Amrit Desai, Internationally recognized pioneer of modern yoga)

Meet the Author

Michael A. Singer received a master's degree in the economics from the University of Florida in 1971. During his doctoral work, he had a deep inner awakening and went into seclusion to focus on yoga and meditation. In 1975, he founded Temple of the Universe, a now long-established yoga and meditation center where people of any religion or set of beliefs can come together to experience inner peace. Through the years, Singer has made major contributions in the areas of business, the arts, education, healthcare, and environmental protection. He has previously authored two books on the integration of Eastern and Western philosophy: The Search for Truth and Three Essays on Universal Law: Karma, Will and Love.

    A Game Changer (in a very good way)

    Instead of reading this book.. you might find the book is reading you. It helps you realize that "mind chatter" is not as serious as one might have thought. This book will help bring you out of your head and into the wonderful experience of the beauty of life and all that it has to offer. Awesome!

    Probably the most helpful book I've ever read!

    The Untethered Soul not only embraces the concepts of letting go and living guilt free, but gives simple steps on how to achieve these concepts and others. This book has set me on a higher plain of existence. Thank you Michael A. Singer!!!

    Understand & Attain Enlightenment

    THE UNTETHERED SOUL is truly exceptional for its ability to simultaneously explain the nature of enlightenment while also providing simple, practical tools for attaining that exalted state. It lives up to its subtitle: "The Journey Beyond Yourself" by demonstrating how we are able to transcend worldly troubles by changing the way we view our lives. Just as we might notice that problems cannot be solved at the same level where they were created, there is great advantage in rising above the inner chatter and emotional storms to a peaceful, blissful state of mind we've all experienced... that can become our new core identity.

    The big idea here is that by identifying ourselves as being observers who watch thoughts and feelings flowing through, we can keep our hearts open to love even (and especially) during times of crisis. This simple sounding concept of separating the part of us who thinks and feels and acts from the part of ourself who sees ourselves thinking and feeling and acting becomes extraordinarily liberating. The proof of the efficacy of this concept is immediately verifiable by readers willing to roll up their sleeves and start feeling the burn of releasing energies from the past, by taking this book as a workbook, and not merely an intellectual sourcebook.

    At its core, THE UNTETHERED SOUL is a book about the energies of emotion. Readers are encouraged to recognize and appreciate the expansive experience of feeling love and joy, as well as the restrictive sensations we feel when guarding ourselves from potential pain or suffering. Just as a good athletic coach might guide us to start noting the difference between "good pain" and "bad pain" in order to achieve best athletic results, Singer teaches the value of recognizing the "good pain" that accompanies emotional release and the greatest resulting state of true spiritual happiness, joy and well-being.

    Here is a book that has the power to completely transform your life to be free of stress, fear, and melodrama. This book is highly recommended for spiritual seekers everywhere, as well as those seeking emotional clarity in order to transcend the common human condition of pain of suffering. This is a book you will read and find yourself thinking about for years to come, hoping everyone else in your life will read it, too!

    Best book ever read

    This book is incredible. I have read it many times and will continue to throughout my life. I never thought my eyes and my heart could be so open. I have gone from a stressful, fearful, confused life to one that now is calm and loving and patient. I never thought I could ever be so free. I have learned so much about myself while reading this book. I suggest everyone read this book. It is truly amazing.

    spiritual growth

    I have read many books of this type and this is one of the best I have ever read. it gives an easily understood yet deep explanation of energy and how it works. It is one I have recommended to many already. It makes simple a process that can seem so difficult, to let go and release.

    A reviewer

    The Untethered Soul is the most unique and helpful book I have ever read on the experience of being human. Michael Singer writes with wisdom, humor, and deep but relaxed insight into what it takes to be truly free internally. I have been reading books for that purpose for many years, and am particularly drawn to this one. Singer describes consciousness with tremendous clarity and simplicity in a way that I have not seen before. He also shares very down-to-earth practices that truly do feel as though they nurture my soul. This book is a huge gift in my life. I highly recommend it.
