This book changed my life

What made the experience of listening to The Untethered Soul the most enjoyable?

I am a 60 year old man who's life dramatically changed due to this book. All my life I have been around these type of teachings, but I never 'got' them. This book resonated. It showed me that I am not my busy, loud, crazy talking mind, rather I am the one who hears and sees. I am the one in the moment. That I can chose to be happy. Literally overnight my life changed. I have not 'lost it' since I started this journey. I am HAPPY! Wow. My life's work has changed. My goal is to be in the moment at all times, using life to help me grow. I am excited to see how the future unfolds.

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

Just starting to dabble in more books to help me on my way.

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

The author

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Each time I listen to it, I hear the next thing that moves me.

Any additional comments?

If your inner voice never stops. If you are a logical intellectual type. If you wonder why you can't seem to be truly happy. I highly suggest this book.

Enlightening

The most simple, helpful, eye opening, and inspiring book I have ever read, again and again....

Life Changing

I've dabbled in reading and learning about spirituality over the past few years. None of it serious or particularly enlightening. The biggest change with myself has been a practice of meditation, which I only started a few months ago. As I start to see the benefits of that practice I discovered this audio book (I actually saw the book in store). What Michael Singer talks about here gives a sense of "remmembering". A sense of "I know this ... I feel it's true ... but I've forgotten" . I think that's the best way to describe it. The only thing I wish we had were more concrete steps, but maybe that's just me wanting a "just do this " guide.
This book is great for anyone starting their spiritual journey.

For Go-GetTers, Thinkers, & Other Unhappy People.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book will help you see something you have never realized was right in front of you. Being itself and all of its wonderful observations about the truth of the human being's inner world. Any person, religion or teaching will be bolstered and improved with the addition of this understanding.

What did you like best about this story?

I like the entire book.

Which scene was your favorite?

Everything will be ok when you are ok with everything. Objective awareness is holy.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The entire book moved me.

Any additional comments?

I felt it was only right that I make it publicly known that this is one of the books that is responsible for my new found peace, love and objective perspective of life. This book has helped to eradicate depression and mental fear in me. I am and was already a highly motivated, effective business and community leader, but this book helped me like nothing else has. I am forever thankful for the simple revelation found within this book.

Completely digestible

Typically I prefer books read by the author for the natural inflection but this version was like listening to my grandpa read a bedtime story. This book applies to every single area of your life and is immediately transferable to any situation. One of my top five for sure.

Awesome!

Benefits from more than one listen. Do yourself a favour and dive into this and practice it too.

Loved it, a great in depth explanation of life.

Loved it, a great in depth explanation of life and soul, whether spiritual or religious. Must read.

Wonderful message: be patient with the repetitive point-making

On the path to live more fully present, to become more aware of consciousness and disempower my ego’s lifelong training to distract me towards it, instead - this book has been a worthwhile reinforcement and teacher.
