The untethered soul reviews
If I had read this book a year ago I’m not sure I would have been so receptive to it’s lessons. My life is going pretty damn well in the face of this torture (hence this website) and the irony I’ve found is that the more freedom I create in my life the more I notice that my brain is riddled with hostility and it all stems from this endless voice in my head that just seems to enjoy making my life painful.

I don’t want to paint too bleak of a picture, all things considered I’m fairly well adjusted fella and I mostly keep it together. The book describes the voice we talk to in our head as a “roommate in your mind”, if this is the case I have an extremely abusive roommate. From neuroticism to self loathing my own internal self talk is and has always been the most dominant negative impact on my life. I’ve known for a long time that this is a problem but have never really addressed it. I suffer from this in the most terrible way. “The Untethered Soul” describes the very common human problem where we allow our inner dialogue to wreak havoc on our life. Although in defense of my romanticism I would have done anything this girl told me to do…. Does this make me a hypocrite? ….probably, yeah!!!įor this reason I really didn’t have high hopes going in, it’s been on my wish list for nearly 2 years because when someone recommends me a book I put it on my list and eventually get to it, but recently I met a new lady who suggested it at which point I felt compelled to me to finally read it. There is a high chance that if you know my usual content you’ve heard me dumping on self-help books in the past. Occasionally if you’re really lucky you’ll come across the right book at the right time, and for me this was the very right book for the very right time.ĭespite being a spiritual self-help book, the complete opposite of what I usually read, I actually found my experience reading this book to be sublime.

People ask me all the time what one book they should read, my opinion is that productive reading is an ongoing (forever) process.
