The Surrender Experiment

My Journey into Life's Perfection

By: Michael A. Singer

Narrated by: Michael A. Singer

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.

Critic reviews

“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

Letting Go and Finding Flow

What a beautifully written and well told story. Micheal Singers voice is a soothing way to absorb the beauty of surrendering. Couldn’t have heard this at a more perfect time in my life. This is a must listen.

Life is Kind, not Cruel

Michael- I appreciate your choosing to surrender to Life's kindness at every turn. This offering in your book is a liberation moment for me. I also echo your love and awe of our Founding Fathers. The Suttender Experiment is epic!

Power Surrender truly

Impregnable the proof is in the pudding! Undeniable that Michael Singer lived through the darkness by Surrender and we must grasp his way, his shining model.⭐️

Unbelievable, a must read

This book came to me at the most perfect time, and hearing the events that unfolded in Michael Singer’s life has had a profound impact on my being.

Don’t pass this one up!

This is one of the best books I’ve heard on the subject of surrender. So powerful! It makes so much sense. We tend to over complicate life. This book demonstrates how it can work when you learn how to surrender.

Deep Bows

Deep Bows to Mr. Singer, his awareness, integrity, and steadfast commitment to his journey. He provides us all a glimpse of the grace that comes as we each open ourselves to our seemingly separate journeys. Dhanyavaad

Great read.

Great read after The Untethered Soul. Really put the previous book into perspective and has me wanting to read the Untethered Soul again!!

The inspiring story behind The Untethered Soul

I really enjoyed listening to this book as it provided the story behind the events that led to Singer writing The Untethered Soul. I was inspired by this case study in the sort of surrender and trust that is recommended in that book.

So timely and exquisite!

this was beautifully written and beautifully delivered. it will never be the same. Thank you.
