The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself
Divided into five parts, the book 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 that all of us 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 and the embrace of universal consciousness are 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.

About 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.

What People are Saying About This

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)

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)

Ma Yoga Shakti Saraswati

This publication has released boundless joy for the hungry souls of the world. --Ma Yoga Shakti Saraswati, founder of Yogashakti International Mission, recipient of Hinduism Today 'Hindu of the Year 2000' award

Abdul Aziz Said

The Untethered Soul is a brilliant treatment of the path of spiritual consciousness. It is clearly and powerfully written. Michael Singer provides a firm step for those on a spiritual journey. --Abdul Aziz Said, Professor of Peace Studies, Chair of Islamic Peace, American University

Louis Chiavacci

Michael Singer has opened my mind to an entirely new dimension of thought. Through The Untethered Soul I have been challenged both psychologically and intellectually in a new and exciting way. It may take more than one reading and many hours of introspection but The Untethered Soul is a must read for anyone in search of greater understanding of themselves and of the truth. --Louis Chiavacci, Senior Vice-President, Merrill Lynch, ranked in Barron's top 15 U.S. Investment Managers

Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi

Deep spirituality is within your reach in this book. In it you will find the mirror to see your unconditional, holy Self. If you look for practical spirituality not encumbered by credo and ritual, read this book. --Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi: coauthor of Jewish With Feeling and From Age-ing To Sage-ing

From the Publisher

"Read this book carefully and you will get more than a glimpse of eternity." —-Deepak Chopra

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)

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)

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))
