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 aspects of yourself, you realize that there is much more to you than any of these can define. In this book, 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.
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.
5 Stars The Most Profound Spiritual Book I've Read
I'm not going to use a lot of words here for one has to directly experience the profound spiritual impact that this book can bring forth. If you are a seeker and lover of the Truth and you want or feel that there is something more, then this book is a must read. I wept tears of pure love and joy while reading the last chapter and every chapter preceding was a journey deeper into self. I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to directly experience Spirit.
5 Stars Life-Changing book!
For me, this is THE book that answers so many questions and is all encompassing in that it touches on so much. Michael Singer explains so simply and beautifully how to live your live with an open heart. He talks about everything from that roommate in our head (constant chatter) to what death teaches us about living. He does it with explanations on HOW to change your life in very easy-to-understand prose. Is it really this easy? Yes it is IF we make the conscious decision to change our lives. The cover is so beautiful, too, and that is what actually drew me to the book in the first place.
5 Stars Loving the freedom of loving
This book is way beyond great. Words can't describe the elation and freedom I felt as I read and understood the words of a true master and the meaning of the true spirit of this wonderful writing. I will and do recommend this book to all souls on planet earth who are wanting a better, more loving and wonderous existance for themselves and those they have any kind of relationship with. This is a book based on your one true and faithful love, yourself/I AM and as you love yourself you love others/ I AM THAT I AM. The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself (New Harbinger/Noetic Books) (co-published with the Institute of Noetic Sciences)Truly a blessing and thank you Michael Singer, from the bottom and top of my untethered soul.

5 Stars Freeing your Mind
This author is definitely a teacher, able to grasp a concept not only verbally, but experientially and he can convey it with such ease that you don't realize that what you are reading about it life altering. It is an amazing little book. I came away from it with the remembrance of a wave washing over me, taking away all that limited me and leaving only my Divine Self. A light bulb went on inside me, "Ah, this is what is meant by free your mind."
