The Untethered Soul

by Michael A. Singer

Three key ideas

  1. Noticing your thoughts creates room to respond instead of assuming they define you.
  2. In a low-risk moment, notice a feeling and soften unneeded resistance if you can.
  3. Ask whether a protective response serves a real need or only avoids a manageable feeling.

The five 2-minute lessons

  1. 1.Notice the voice in your head
  2. 2.Let a small feeling stay
  3. 3.What constant protection costs
  4. 4.Let go, keep your limits
  5. 5.Zoom out, keep it real
