2.5 stars. I will start by saying this is not my preferred genre of reading. Give me fiction all the time! I listened to the audio book over a period of several weeks during quiet moments of my day. I am on board with most of what Singer writes about here (being an observer of one's thoughts) but none of it was new or groundbreaking to me. Sometimes I felt the examples he uses to illustrate common thought patterns were a little bit silly. And after a few chapters it starts to feel repetitive. But it was a nice reminder to feel into and through my emotions to the peace that is on the other side.

very impactful
This book was life-changing for me. Some simple concept but WELL brought across. I have recommended this book to so many people.
The only con was that it was a bit repetitive at times.

Was going good until it went real "god-y" at the end.

I was enjoying the first 20% or so (hence the 2 stars vs 1) - there were some good nuggets in there, but as I progressed, my intense dislike for this book only deepened. It's painfully clear this was written by a white man with zero sense of his privilege in terms of gender, race, neuronormativity... and the chapter on God...you completely lost me. His imperative tone was wildly condescending and frankly infantilizing throughout the book, which really just made me check out. There was no thread, no structure, no evidence. Not worth your time.

“When you become truly spiritual, you are totally different from everybody else. That which everybody else wants, you don’t want. That which everybody else resists, you totally accept. You want your model to break, and your honor the experience when something happens that can cause disturbance within you. Why should anything that anyone says or does cause you to get disturbed? You’re just on a planet spinning around the middle of absolutely nowhere. You came here to visit for a handful of years and then you’re going to leave. How can you live all stressed out over everything? Don’t do it. If anything can cause disturbance inside of you, it means it hit your model. It means it hit the false part of you that you built in order to control your own definition of reality.”
Just as another commenter said, The Untethered Soul "is a psychological boot camp." It's repetitive at times, but it's a wealth of useful, thought-provoking information to awaken your consciousness and position your aim for a higher level of inner peace.

The messaging is not universal. People who suffer from big-T-trauma or who are generally disadvantaged/underprivileged can't "just let it go."
