Editorial Review

There is a voice inside all of us. Are you listening? The Untethered Soul, by Michael A. Singer explores what it means not only to find yourself, but to align with your inner voice in order to experience true freedom and an unencumbered fullness of being.

Singer presents a compelling audiobook and spiritual guide that is less about doctrines and beliefs as it is about wellness, mindfulness, and a search inward. His ideas are rooted in the idea that becoming untethered is less about learning a skill, and more about rediscovering your inner self, and ridding your life of the distractions that inhibit freedom and pure mindfulness.

Michael Singer is the founder of the meditation centre, Temple of the Universe. His work focuses on both yoga and meditation in a space free from religion or specific belief, in order to emphasize the central nature of finding inner peace. Both The Untethered Soul and his 2015 work The Surrender Experiment were New York Times bestsellers, garnering much praise and following.

The audiobook opens by encouraging the listener to listen to the ‘voice within’. In this clever and relatable exercise, the listener is able to pause, acknowledge a sense of self, and thus open their mind to an idea of self-awareness and identity that may have previously been overlooked. In this way, Singer explores the self, the greater meaning of life, and theories of the mind from an internal angle. The aim is not so much to teach, as to turn the listener inward, and rediscover the self, the Untethered Soul, that has always been within.

This book changed my life.

I have listened to dozens of self help books and none of them have impacted me quite like this one. The untethered soul will rock your world and break down limiting beliefs inside of you. If you want to live your most free and beautiful life, you need this book!

Best book I've ever read

I read a LOT of books. The Untethered Soul is still, hands down, the best book I've ever come across.

I also never leave reviews, however, I feel like I need to let as many people as possible know about this gem.

I will forever be grateful for Michael Singers masterpiece.

P.S - Narration was also fantasticly done.

Fantastic book and I haven't finished it yet

This is one of the books that can change your life. I have listened to the first part probably 3 times. Haven't advanced more yet. I am still working on the first part that is to say. It is a slow book. So if you are thinking, it is a light read on the plane, it is not. It is a journey, oh wait, it is in the title, it is a journey beyond yourself. The narrator has a fantastic and expressive voice as well that help convey the "story". a must read!

MIND CHANGING. You will be woke.

This book was so amazing and absolutely different than any other book I have read. So good, that I had to buy a physical copy in addition to the auditory book as well.

Modern day bible

Definitely some similarities to Eckhart Tolle work but easier to understand and grasp the concept. This should be mandatory reading for everyone at all levels.

Disappointed

I listened to this book because it was so hyped up by many of my peers. Like others, I found the narration to be my first challenge in completing the book. I found the tone of his voice to be very condescending. This book has left me with two expression in my head "You just simply...." and the idea of life as a binary of either being "open" or "closed." In my world view, life is so much more than "simply doing or not doing something" and "open or closed." This book is very "heady," filled with cognitive directives of what to do, and does nothing for teaching how to navigate the using the body as well. The body is a huge source of information for us, especially if someone has experienced trauma. Its not as simple as "you just simply choose happiness." I worry about how this book can be shaming to those that struggle to "simply do" what he tells you to do. For some it could be great, but those with more deeper set trauma or mental health concerns, its doesn't offer a holistic self-help healing approach.

Not what it was made out to be

I had high Hope's for this book after reading the reviews, but honestly it was very hard to get through. The story itself doesn't have any mind blowing information and it didn't change my life in any way (as other readers have said it did for them), it's mostly just common sense... the narrator's voice is so monotone it was hard not to fall asleep and took me along time to get through this book. I personally wouldn't recommend this book, I think there are much better books out there.

Pretty good.

Great for learning how to live more in the moment instead of worrying about past or present. Brings awareness of the voice in your head that causes worry and doubt. Great for mental development. The only con is that it was a bit repetitive which got a little bit irritating.

Exactly what I needed...

Michael Singer’s words helped me through a particularly dark experience. Through listening to him, I was able to see more clearly what is me and what is all the noisy chatter and judging that is in my mind sabotaging myself. The act of simply settling back into myself before reacting to any situation is a powerful tool. I am deeply grateful to Mr. Singer for his guidance. This is a book I will listen to many times.
