In 1971, while working on a doctorate in economics, author Michael A. Singer experienced a spiritual awakening that would change his life. In 1975, he founded a yoga and meditation center open to all religions and beliefs called the Temple of the Universe. He has since written a variety of books about spirituality, inner piece, personal potential and additional esoteric topics. Singer's most successful book is The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself, a New York Times bestseller first published by New Harbinger in 2007, which has been featured on Oprah Winfrey's Super Soul Sunday television and radio shows. He is also the author of The Search for Truth and Three Essays on Universal Law: Karma, Will and Love. Singer's most recent title is The Surrender Experiment: My Journey into Life's Perfection, published by Harmony in 2015, which is also a New York Times bestseller.
The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself advocates using meditation and mindfulness to find inner peace. According to Singer, by understanding our own thinking and emotions, we can challenge the habitual thoughts and destructive patterns holding us back in our lives. The Untethered Soul is available in paperback or as a deluxe hardcover edition published in 2013, which features a satin ribbon bookmark and a new preface by the author ($22.95, 9781626250765). --Tobias Mutter
