    "Great topic, poorly explained"
    Would you try another book from Michael A. Singer and/or Peter Berkrot?

    No


    What do you think your next listen will be?

    Not sure


    What didn’t you like about Peter Berkrot’s performance?

    Fluctuation in voice to add dramatic effect caused volume to fade too low to hear at times. Too much attempt at dramatization.


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    Any book on the topic of consciousness will have a couple of useful nuggets and this book was no different. Just hard to stay interested between the literary style and narration.


    Any additional comments?

    The Power of Now may be advanced and take great concentration, but I found it much clearer and that it did a phenomenal job of explaining the topic. I recommend that book instead.

    "Great book"
    What did you love best about The Untethered Soul?

    I don't know where to begin, I have read several spiritual books but this one pulls everything together. I definitely am going to listen to this book again. Peter Berkrot has an excellent voice, he spoke with authority and soft when he speaking about God, the unknown, the underlying energy that drives everything. Chapter 17, Contemplating Death frighten me due to transitions of love ones, it is funny, I know that I and people I care for are going to die but it is always a shock when it happens. Maybe it was Deepak Chopra who said, make death your friend.


    What other book might you compare The Untethered Soul to and why?

    Butterflies are Free to Fly by Stephen Davis reminds me of The Untethered Soul.


    Which character – as performed by Peter Berkrot – was your favorite?

    When Peter was reading the part of the voice in your head, it made me laugh because it felt so real. I could defintely relate.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    I want to incorporate the techniques of this book into my life.

    Story
    "Not happy so far."
    What would have made The Untethered Soul better?

    This book seems to be chapter after chapter of telling "you" what you do- how we cling to thoughts, how we identify ourselves, etc. It seems like "you" do this and "you" do that. I'm still waiting for any insight on what "you" can do about it. This book may be good for someone who has never had any training or read anything about spirituality or psychology. It is not for anyone who has read Tolle, or any of the other spiritual writers. It does not go beyond "The Power of Now", for example. And the narrator is almost patronizing from my point of view, in his attempt to sound interesting. It sounds more dramatic than necessary. To be honest, I am at chapter 14 and want to put it down, but I will listen to the end, and change this evaluation if I find that the ending somehow surprises me.


    What could Michael A. Singer have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

    The book could have been less narrative about what "you" do and don't do. It lacks skill giving. "You" might read it and relate to a lot of what it says, but it is lacking as compared to deeper thinkers and more insightful writers like Thich Nhat Hanh, Tolle, Krishnamurti...


    What didn’t you like about Peter Berkrot’s performance?

    Too dramatic. Too false. Could have been more natural.


    What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

    I just wish I had known ahead of time that it was not going to contribute to what I have already learned. It was not the right book for me. Perhaps it is good, again, for someone who has never worked on their spirituality or psychology.


    Any additional comments?

    Will most likely return this book.

    What insight do you think you’ll apply from The Untethered Soul?

    I loved Singer's description of the interior voice that haunts us all. I also loved his explanation of how to deal with the annoying voice.

    This is a book that can be read by young and old. Something for everybody including all of you who think that you know everything already...

    I will have to reserve my opinion, I've listened to the audio three times and I am now reading the book.

    Not yet, I can't decide....

    "Deep Thought!"
    What did you like about this audiobook?

    The author did a good job in trying to explain the inner workings of the psyche. He made it clear that no matter how different people are, we all go through similar distorted thought patterns and mental inconstancies. He brings a number of interesting ideas around dealing with our psyche and learning to transcend our conscious self to a higher level of awareness . I recommend this book
