The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself Paperback – Illustrated, 7 Nov. 2007

This book reminded me of my first glimpse at awakening. Simple, uncomplicated and loving.Just keep choosing to let it all go and surrender to the joy and love that is there always. The sun will always continue to shine whether you accept it or not. What grace 🌀

I highly recommend it, It was a really great read. I will sit with it and study it because as with anything you want to really know, it will take some practice. So much wisdom in these pages

I have been consoled and also bewildered by the vast amount of information this book contains. I have found that reading it in short bursts is all I can manage. As it says, that you may need to read it through a couple of times to receive benefit, it can also feel overwhelming. It's the sort of book for me that I would need to carry everywhere I went, so I would probably have been better buying an online copy. I'm sure the difficulties I have encompassed will pass. As I have a mental health issue I would suggest that those with say autism or ADHD may find this book a bit of a nightmare maze. Much appreciated though Mr Singer :)

I first heard of this book from an interview between Zane Lowe and Miley Cyrus regarding the traumas and experiences she's had in life leading up to Plastic Hearts album (which is also a very recommended listen!) and she mentioned this book which helped her a lot to clear her mind so I bought it. I've been having troubles for a while before I read this especially when it comes to my sense of being and my mind is over critical to the point where I cripple myself. The book is not very long but extremely enlightening nonetheless, although the only gripe I have with it is the parts towards the end where the author mentions religion heavily. Up until then I was under the impression that the book was all about your spiritual being against the universe, to comprehend the cosmos with your inner power and grabbing your own life from your own darkness without any helping hand from God. I guess that's on me, either way it was a great read, definitely worth the money and helped me a LOT when it comes to putting things in perspective and letting go.

This book is an absolute gem, for everyone to read! Passages from this book had made me cry, it has opened my heart.

A must read, I always recommend people to read this book, well for anyone that might be interested anyway! I like it's accessibility, as with some spiritual texts can be quite hefty or daunting to someone new to their own personal path, this is a great book to recommend as it is so accessible and written in such an amazingly simple way.He describes the chapters of the book as merely mirrors for seeing your-self from different angles. And that it certainly does. He says "There is nothing more important to true growth than realizing that you are not the voice of the mind. You are the one that hears it." Succinct and straight to the point Singer puts everything into perspective. Even just reading this book calms your mind, it's as if Singer is directing you straight to source when he says "True personal growth is about transcending the part of you that is not okay and needs protection. This is done by constantly remembering that you are the one inside that notices the voice talking. That is the way out. The one inside who is aware that you are always talking to yourself about yourself is always silent. Come to know the one that watches the voice, and you will come to know one of the mysteries of creation."I love this as well; "Before you had your current problem, there was a different problem. And if you are wise, you will realise that after this ones gone, there will be another one." Isn't it just amazingly simple?! He also explains that as soon as we get into this mental dialogue and ask "What should I do about it?" You've already fallen into believing that there really is a problem outside. If you want to achieve peace in the face of your problems, you must understand why you perceive a particular situation as a problem."You have to break the habit of thinking that the solution to your problems is to re-arrange things outside. The only permanent solution to your problems is to go inside and let go of any part of you that seems to have so many problems with reality."The thing that hits you the hardest, the reaction of someone else that hurts you the most is the point at which you need to stop and look within yourself. Put all blame aside and look at your reaction, it's not someone else's energy that you feel it is your own. If you never own your pain you end up passing it on by indirectly hurting others while at the sametime hurting yourself and creating a perpetual cycle. The places where your heart jumps and your emotions swing into play with force and vigour, go into it, investigate it and in it you will find a wealth of information about your own conditioning, your own life and your own beautiful complicated heart. It's a great book, I highly recommend it!

This book is brilliant and life changing. The answer to struggling with life are in this book. The technique (If I could call something like this a technique it is actually much more than that) is simple but also very hard to do. Relaxing into fear, stress and anger is hard but so worthwhile. I have read thousands of self help and spiritual books but this one is the very best. Anyway I have tried very hard to do this and feel so much better. What I was cynical about was the fact that if you did this things would take care of themselves. Well since then my money worries have, if not gone been placed in a much better position. I was very fearful about money but after doing this technique I received a refund from the Inland revenue for thousands of pounds. OK I thought coincident. Then I was worried about some money I thought I would never get back. I relaxed and accepted whatever would happen. The money came without me having done anything. Coincident number 2. I thought to myself if this happens again I will believe it. I had applied for a grant with little chance of being successful, the criteria was very strict and I knew other, much more deserving then me had a much better chance in fact I was told beforehand that I had little chance of getting it. Fear crept in but I relaxed and accepted whatever might or might not happen. Well I got it. I could not believe when I saw the letter. Of course some may say this is a series of coincidences but I do not believe that, I think it works.In any case I have lost a lot of fear and anger so it was worth it without the other things that happened. Read this book if you want to have a better life and to be a happier, more trusting person
