THE UNTETHERED SOUL: THE JOURNEY BEYOND YOURSELF

Book ID/图书代码： 09700007B16434

English Summary/英文概要： Who are you? When you start to explore this question, you find out how elusive it really is. Are you a physical body? A collection of experiences and memories? A partner to relationships? Each time you consider aspects of yourself, you realize that there is much more to you than any of these can define. In this book, spiritual teacher Michael Singer explores the question of who we are and arrives at the conclusion that our identity is to be found in our consciousness, the fact of our ability to observe ourselves and the world around us. By tapping into traditions of meditation and mindfulness, Singer shows how the development of consciousness can enable us all to dwell in the present moment and let go of painful thoughts and memories that keep us from achieving happiness and self-realization.
Divided into five parts, the book offers a frank and friendly discussion of consciousness and how we can develop it. In part one, he examines the notion of self and the inner dialogue that all of us live with. Part two examines the experience of energy as it flows through us and works to show readers how to open their hearts to the energy of experience that permeates their lives. Ways to overcome tendencies to close down to the rest of the world are the subject of part three. Enlightenment and the embrace of universal consciousness are the subject of part four. And finally, in part five, Singer returns to daily life and the pursuit of "unconditional happiness." Throughout, the book maintains a light and engaging tone, free from heavy dogma and prescriptive religious references. The easy exercises that figure in each chapter help readers experience the ideas that Singer presents.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 你是谁？当你思索这个问题时，你会发现它是多么难以捉摸！你是个实实在在的生物体吗？还是一个经历和记忆的集合？还是一个处于多重人际关系中的参与者？每次当你审视自己的各个方面时，你会意识到以上这些都不能准确地定义自己，你还具有许多其他的特质。在本书中，心灵教师麦克尔·辛格深入探索这个关乎人类本质的问题：我们到底是谁？他得出这样的结论：我们的身份定位由我们的意识，自我审视的能力和我们身处的周围环境决定的。辛格通过探究人类冥想和专注的传统，指明意识的发展如何让我们把我现在，让悲伤的回忆随风而逝，免得它们妨碍我们获得欢乐和自我实现。
本书分为5个部分，对意识这一话题及我们如何培养意识进行了坦诚友好的讨论。在第一部分，他深入剖析了自我观念及与我们每个人相依相伴的内心对话。第二部分主要讲述涌动于人体内的能量体验，告诉读者如何向这种能量体验敞开心扉，因为它是贯穿人的一生的。第三部分的主要内容是克服自我封闭的方式。第四部分主要内容：普遍意识的启示和蕴含。最后，辛格在第五部分又回到日常生活和对“无条件快乐”的追求。全书基调轻松而又让人着迷，没有沉重的教条和命令性的宗教言论。每章中简单的练习可以帮助读者切实感受辛格提出的观点。(zyt)

Awards/获奖情况："East is East and West is West, but Michael Singer bridges these two great traditions in a radiant treatise on how to succeed in life from our spiritual quest to our everyday tribulations. Freud said that life was composed of love and work. With great eloquence, wit, and compelling logic, Singer’s brilliant book completes this thought by showing them to be two poles of the same selfless devotion." ---RAY KURZWEIL, inventor, National Medal of Technology recipient and author of The Age of Spiritual Machines and The Singularity is Near

"This is a seminal book that quite frankly is in a class by itself. In a simple, yet paradoxically profound way, Michael Singer takes the reader on a journey that begins with consciousness tethered to the ego, and ends having taken us beyond our myopic, contained self-image to a state of inner freedom and liberation. Michael Singer’s book is a priceless gift to all who have futilely searched and yearned for a richer, more meaningful, creative life."---yogi amrit desal, internationally recognized pioneer of modern yoga

"The accuracy and simplicity of this work is a measure of its pure mastery."---JAMES O’DEA, President of the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS)
“东方和西方向来八竿子打不着，但是辛格却在这篇闪耀着智慧光芒的论述中将东西方两大光荣传统结合起来，指导人们如何在生活中获得成功，进行心灵的拷问，战胜苦难。弗洛伊德说过生活由爱和工作组成。辛格的这本书洋溢着才气，字字珠玑，富于雄辩和逻辑性，迎合了弗洛伊德的思想，表明爱和工作是同样的无私奉献精神的两端。”——雷·库兹威尔，发明家，全国技术勋章获得者，《精神机器和充满卓越的时代即将到来》的作者
“本书很有创意，很明显，它是独一无二的。麦克尔·辛格通过既简单又深奥的方式带领读者踏上奇异之旅，这场旅行始于与自我紧密相连的意识，止于让我们超越眼前的自我表象，达到内心自由解放的境界。麦克尔·辛格的书对所有渴望更加丰富多彩，更富有意义，更具有创造性的生活，苦苦寻觅而又毫无所获的人们来说，是积极珍贵的礼物。”——yogi amrit desal, 举世闻名的现代瑜伽开拓者
