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.

Review

“In the book The Untethered Soul, Michael A. 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 of Life After Death: The Burden of Proof

“In lucid, unadorned prose, Michael A. 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, past president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS)

“The Untethered Soul is indeed one of the finest treatments of the nature and practice of the conscious use of consciousness that I have ever read…. It is the clearest statement I know of who we are and what we face in our emerging humanity.”
—Jean Houston, philosopher, psychologist, and author of A Mythic Life and Passion for the Possible

“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

“Michael A. 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 of Merrill Lynch, ranked in Barron’s top fifteen US Investment Advisors

p>“Psalm 42:8 says, ‘Deep calls unto deep.’ Within each human soul there is a longing for more, and the thirst can be quenched only by God. In The Untethered Soul, Michael A. Singer helps the modern person who is seeking this experience to come to a better understanding of the action in their soul. I highly recommend this reflection of one soul to another on the journey.”
—Fr. Paul Wierichs, CP, director of the Passionist Monastery and Spiritual Center of Our Lady of Florida

“The Untethered Soul is a brilliant treatment of the path of spiritual consciousness. It is clearly and powerfully written. Michael A. Singer provides a firm step for those on a spiritual journey.”
—Abdul Aziz Said, professor of peace studies and chair of Islamic Peace at American University

“This publication has released boundless joy for the hungry souls of the world.”
—Ma Yoga Shakti Saraswati, founder of Yogashakti International Mission and recipient of Hinduism Today’s Hindu of the Year 2000 award

“East is East and West is West, but Michael A. 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, National Medal of Technology recipient and author of The Singularity Is Near

“This is a seminal book that quite frankly is in a class by itself. In a simple, yet paradoxically profound way, Michael A. 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 A. 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

You are stuck in an illusion, would you like to wake up?

I give the first 37 pages a five star review. Michael Singer gives a wonderful example of how you are lost in a dream-like state. You are at the mercy of every thought that arises in your mind and you have no idea of what's happening. He wonderfully shines a light on the process that is happening to you and if you are paying attention, you could discover one of the most important ideas you could ever learn; you are not your thoughts. The first 37 pages are worth the price of admission and I have added this book to my personal lending library.

Unfortunately, everything after that is similar to explaining what a shadow looks like to a blind person. He will tell you about some pretty amazing stuff but he won't tell you how to get there. You should buy his book, it will give you one of the best explanations as to why you should meditate, but it won't tell you how to meditate or attain it's benefits.

I would recommend reading Mindfulness in plain English after reading this book. It will give you basic instructions on what to do next. As a warning though, it has some brief supernatural references, please just ignore them if they offend you, it really does contain a great instruction on how to meditate and loose the bonds that shackle you to anger, anxiety, depression and whatever else you are suffering from. Best of all.....You will do it by yourself.

As other one star reviewers have noted, the book is disorganized, full of empty phrases, and lacking in any fundamental actions that a reader might take to achieve the bliss promised herein. Some pearls of wisdom: “It is actually possible to never have another problem for the rest of your life.” “Any time you’re having trouble with something, think of death.” “How you learn to stay open is up to you. The ultimate trick is to not close. If you don’t close, you will have learned to stay open.“ “For there to be manifest creation, energy must get in the dynamic of cycling around itself to create a stable unit.” I suspect that the overwhelming positive reviews of the book are influenced by adherents to the author’s philosophy and beliefs. To be clear: I’m not criticizing those beliefs, just the book.

Long on Promises; Short on Strategies; and Full of Contradictions.

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2018

Singer's message is well known: The way for the soul to become unteathered is for us to realize you are not your thoughts, sensations, or pain--you are the witness of these. You can look at events from the seat of awareness or the seat of disturbance. You keep your infinite soul in a house made of your model of the world and expectations of people. When you approach your walls, you will feel insecurity and fear, but if you stay in the witness position these tensions will pass through you. But then Singer becomes dogmatic: "At all times remain conscious in the face of pain; Don't allow events to leave residue inside of you; you must decide if you want to be happy and commit to being happy ALL the time because God doesn't want to be around people who are miserable. (?) Fortunately in the last chapter he corrects this egregious, error saying God is non judging and sees only beauty in us. I would hypothesize that God loves us in spite of our shortcomings.

Untethered is an understatement

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2017

If you have a Kindle, I'd recommend downloading the sample of this book, read the sample, stop there and take what you will from it. Then go buy "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle.

After the first few chapters, "The Untethered Soul" drones on and on covering the same material without any new insights or observations. It would be like if you and I smoked a bunch of weed and sat down for a deep convo on spirituality. Maybe fun for us, but anyone else who happened to be listening would not be impressed. By chapter 10, I was so tired of the condescending preaching I had to skip to the end. I read the last 2 chapters about death and God but neither revealed anything especially groundbreaking.

This is not marketed as a grief book (and I knew that going in) but if you've recently lost someone and are looking for answers, stay away from this one. It made me feel like I should marginalize the emotions I'm currently processing. In my opinion, dissociation from extreme pain is not an effective way to process it. If you're looking to rid yourself of "trivial anxiety" like road rage or fear of public speaking, maybe this book is for you. But if you're currently working on serious issues like losing a loved one, and your heart is shattered, simply being told ad nauseam to "let it go" will not help. I feel like I need to go cleanse and sanitize my consciousness after this doozy.

There were indeed a few bits and blurbs at the beginning that I think most of us could find helpful and if being spoken to like a child helps you understand concepts, (I'm not judging - sometimes I need it spelled out for me as well) you will probably appreciate Singer's writing style.

However, Untethered is a perfect title for this book. It's quite literally, untethered. I think all of the great reviews it has gotten really speaks to how society as a whole is currently operating. We're damaged and confused and grasping. I think peace really does come from within but one has to do the hard work to get there. I can train my mind to not be annoyed by the sound of a leaking faucet, but the faucet still continues to leak regardless.

I bought this books some 6 years ago and it has been sitting on my bookshelf. The other day I was suddenly drawn to it and starting reading it. I couldn’t put it down. 6 years ago it would not have had the profound implication that it has had in my life today. The universe is truly magnificent.

Suffer with anxiety, racing and disturbing thoughts? This book will help.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

I overcame a real bad batch of anxiety a few years ago and it raised its ugly head again recently, I have worked through everything but the final and worst symptom is just my constant racing mind with intrusive thoughts and all sorts of things. I have read A LOT of books that cover this subject matter and I feel this is the best overall book that just cuts to the chase. Michael doesn't speak about specific symptoms, more just topics as a whole and this is how you need to treat any anxiety, stress or worry. If your in a bit of a crap place, just try adopt some of his teachings, just for 24 hours and I am pretty confident you will see a difference, even the slightest but over time old habbits will die and new will be born.

This is a great book and comes close to touching other teachings from great people, there is no science here, just a path which I believe is the way and only way to follow, you can try many other things, medication etc and keep searching for that cure, but the cure is to stop searching! listen to what Michael says and you will see a difference.

Be patient, it will take time, weeks, months, years but you will all of a sudden find yourself in a powerful place of positivity and confidence.

The most life changing book I've read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 26, 2019

Verified Purchase

I don't know where to start with this book.
As an avid spiritual learner I bought this from recommendation from my Dad and couldn't put it down. It incapsulates the way we should live our life perfectly, logically and with such ease.
I often find when I read books of this genre it initially sticks in my head but then fades with time, but there is something about Michael Stingers words that really resonates in my mind like magical words to refer to.
He goes through the journey of battling with ones inner dialogue, transcending to the power of energy and cultivating these skills to refine yourself and realising how simple life can be.
With these skills you can finally free yourself of your mind.
"You are the passenger of your body"
Thank you for writing this beautiful book. I've read it three times now. :)

Not enough information to put the advice given into action

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 2, 2019

Verified Purchase

The reviews made me purchase the book as they were all so positive, unfortunately I got to about half way through and gave up. The chapters seem to repeat themselves and although the information given is inspiring they offer no advice on how to achieve the advice, you would probably need to purchase other books to follow the advice given. The concept is a wise one and the book is very comforting, I may go back to read the end but I lost interest almost at the beginning and have read better and more informative books than this, such a shame as I was so excited to explore this book. As for the delivery etc, I cannot fault, hence the 2 stars

The Untethered Soul - yours is about to become free!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 28, 2015

What I love most about this book is that the author actually does take you on a journey of discovery, being the interpreter and guide. You don't need to already be aware of spiritual concepts to read it. He starts by making us aware that the only thing 'we' are is the witness to whatever is going on in our minds, emotions, dramas, etc. We can notice and simply detach. We can drive the vehicle!

As someone who has to manage my anxiety constantly, I have found this a godsend. It's just a very simple message that I want to burn into my brain - it's a textbook really. I will be reading it over and over again till the knowledge is close to my heart.

It's awesome.
