My Journey Into Life's Perfection

The Surrender Experiment

Scott Wilson

An interesting blend of eastern philosophy and life experience. The author had plenty of examples of how following the flow of life ended up blessing him immensely. Personally I thought that there were many examples of life but less teaching of HOW he quieted the voice in his head which I would have appreciated learning more.

           It’s my fault for having expectations. I expected this book to have the same amount of meaningful and understandable nuggets of wisdom as The Untethered Soul which changed my life and the way I relate to it. This was a real biography that quickly became very predictable. He was constantly shown opportunities that made him uncomfortable, he said yes anyway, the perfect person showed up at the perfect time, and the perfect amount of money showed up just in time. It quickly became redundant and boring. If you are looking into a glimpse of his life and experiences, it was great! If you’re looking for a self-help book, not this one!

In short: this book is not favouring reason as a guide for life rather embracing a spiritual practice to accept what comes.

The author is giving us an insight of his journey of being open to the circumstances and embracing to what is happening, ignoring, what we would call, our preferences of like and dislike. His journey of trusting life to present him the necessary for his life is deeply spiritual. 

He notes that the battle between the individual will and the reality of life unfolding around us ends up consuming our lives. Once you’re ready to let go of yourself, life becomes your teacher. Not allowing your personal preferences to make decisions for you, instead of allowing reality of life to determine where you are going was his announced way. However, the book was quite contradictory as he declined some offers he got along the way. 🤷‍♀️

Michael A. Singer, author of The Untethered Soul, tells the extraordinary story of what happened when, after a deep spiritual awakening, he decided to let go of his personal preferences and simply let life call the shots. As Singer takes you on this great experiment and journey into life's perfection, the events that transpire will both challenge your deepest assumptions about life and inspire you to look at your own life in a radically different way. Spirituality is meant to bring about harmony and peace. But the diversity of our philosophies, beliefs, concepts, and views about the soul often leads to confusion. To reconcile the noise that clouds spirituality, Michael Singer combines accounts of his own life journey to enlightenment - from his years as a hippie-loner to his success as a computer program engineer to his work in spiritual and humanitarian efforts - with lessons on how to put aside conflicting beliefs, let go of worries, and transform misdirected desires. Singer provides a road map to a new way of living not in the moment, but to exist in a state of perpetual happiness.
