In
these uncertain, fast paced, and fluctuating times, there is so much
coming at us at once. Creativity, the mother of invention, is en ever emerging process leading to so
many ideas that we often get confused and overwhelmed. In addition, as personal
and global conflict is on the rise, it is difficult to know just where and
how to focus our thinking. Many feel tension and anxiety as they
contemplate just how to act.
Working with the quality of our thinking is the basis of all good work
devoted to right action for humanity. If we are working to save the
environment, help others, or catalyze change we need skills of awareness,
compassion and discernment.

Book Description by IONS
What would it be like to be free from limitations and soar beyond your
boundaries? What can you do each day to find this kind of inner peace and
freedom? The Untethered Soul offers a simple,
profoundly intuitive answer to these questions. Whether this is your first
exploration of inner space or you’ve devoted your life to the inward
journey, this book will transform your relationship with yourself and the
world around you.
The Untethered Soul
begins by walking you through your relationship with your thoughts and
emotions, helping you uncover the source and fluctuations of your inner
energy. It then delves into what you can do to free yourself from the
habitual thoughts, emotions, and energy patterns that limit your
consciousness. Finally, with perfect clarity, this book opens the door to
a life lived in the freedom of your innermost being.
About the Author, Michael Singer
Michael A. Singer received a master’s degree in 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, Michael 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.
Endorsements
“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)
“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
“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
“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
“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
“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
“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

“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
“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 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, C.P.
Director: Passionist Monastery & 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 Singer
provides a firm step for those on a spiritual journey.”

joy for the hungry souls of the world.”
