Resumen del Editor

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of The Untethered Soul and Living Untethered comes the astonishing true-life story about the spiritual harmony and personal happiness he found when he just let go.

“With his hallmark precision and clarity Michael Singer reveals how everyday life, doing business in the world, and spiritual practice can be synchronized to carry us into the heart of life’s unimaginable perfection.”—Jack Canfield, co-author of The Success Principles and co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul® series

In The Surrender Experiment, Michael A. Singer tells the extraordinary story of what happened when, after a deep spiritual awakening, he decided to relinquish his personal fears and desires and simply let life unfold before him. Singer shares how this pivotal decision to embrace the flow of life led him to extraordinary success, sustained him through times of crisis, and allowed him to cultivate profound inner peace—whether as a young man pursuing a life of solitude in the woods, the founder of a thriving spiritual community in Florida, or the CEO of a billion-dollar medical software company.

As he takes you through his grand experiment, Singer demonstrates how surrender is the key to a peaceful and harmonious life. His remarkable and unexpected personal experiences will challenge your deepest assumptions, teaching you how to stop making the outside world conform to your desires, let go of the need to control everything, and place your trust in life’s perfection.

Thought-provoking and moving, The Surrender Experiment will inspire you to seek the calm and freedom that comes from letting go.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A lone voice in the modern wilderness calling for surrender instead of striving, Singer shows how surrendering to life does not mean giving up our dreams.”—Shawn Achor, happiness researcher and New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Advantage

“Only the rarest of books has the power to clearly explain the difference between a human being and a human doing, and why that distinction is so important. The Surrender Experiment is such a book. Inspiring, authentic, and intensely compelling.”—Dean Radin, author of The Conscious Universe

“Michael Singer writes a beautiful, touching memoir on the amazing power of surrender in his life. With courage, spunk, and thoughtfulness, he has reached beyond the status quo to dare to trust life and surrender to its ultimate perfection.”—Judith Orloff MD, author of The Ecstasy of Surrender

Compelling, inspiring

I read and reread The Untethered Soul and was left wondering who Michael Singer was. What life experiences led to the wisdom expressed in that earlier work? Well, The Surrender Experiment answers the question with an amazing story. I rarely read a book more than once but I will likely read BOTH of these again. They contain truth and wisdom, eloquently and accessibly expressed. I am fortunate to have discovered them.

Amazing

When it comes to spiritual literature, I like stories the best. For example, by sheer statistics, since ive listened to Way of the Peaceful Warrioer probably 50 times by now, it must be my favorite. Others include Dying to be Me and Proof of Heaven.

Ayway, this book is a praticularly fascinating story. What I love about it is that Mr. Singer isn't sick, or dealing with any great adversity. He simply notices the little voice incessantly commenting on every little thing in his life. And so he decides to not let his life be controlled by it.

This means that he will follow impulses, say yes to assignments, jobs and projects he
1) doesn't want to do
2) doesn't feel qualified to do
3) feels would be risky or foolish, including physically dangerous

The journey this sets off was stunning to me. Incredible moving. It leads to fulfilling careers, a family, and a fantastic spiritual life.

As I've thought more about the story, what stands out is the benevolence of the "universe's" assignments. When I speak about "relaxing" and "not judging" to my friends, they'll sometimes say things like "well, if I were to answer every call and silly idea presented to me, I'd have nothing else to do shortly". But as Mickey's story shows, when you really trust your life to go the way it's "supposed" to go, i.e. let life guide you, rather than trying to control your life....when you do that, you're presented with wonderful, amazing, and delicious and thrilling experiences.

My own life is the best proof I can give of this approach's worth: I found my best job while minding my own business, driving a cab. I met my current wife and mother of my three children, while minding my own business at a lunch buffet at a conference.

I am done running my life. I am convinced Life does a much better job and so I leave it to Her.

This book is a great way to remember why.

Namaste.

great book for personal growth.

I believe that anyone who is looking for material for personal growth should read this.

Inspiring interesting informative impactful

Thank you Mickey Singer for sharing your life's story and perspective in such a fascinating and informative way. listening to this book has already shifted something in me in the way that I approach situations in my life. I am now more open to engaging and working on things that I face that I previously wasted effort thinking about and questioned the importance or value of and procrastinated to avoid. This had opened pathways for me to learn and grow.

Read/Listen to end of this book

What an amazing journey of the author's life of surrender under the most incredible circumstances.! This is a must read.

Captivating

I cant get enough of this. I only WISH he would’ve narrated the untethered soul as well. The person they choose to do that is allll wrong. Sounds like someone from a scary movie of something. I was absolutely thrilled to listen to Singers entire story which will force me to listen ,or rather buy) the untethered soul again. Absolutely great.

Life changing book loved it

This book just changed my life. I never thought about surrender to the river of life conciuosly. Thanks Mickey.
