    NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The author of The Untethered Soul and Living Untethered tells the astonishing true story about the spiritual harmony and personal happiness he found when he just let go—now in hardcover for the first time and featuring a new afterword and chapter

    “With his hallmark precision and clarity Michael Singer reveals how everyday life, doing business in the world, and spiritual practice can be synchronized to carry us into the heart of life’s unimaginable perfection.”—Jack Canfield, co-author of The Success Principles and co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul® series

    As a young doctoral student studying economics in Florida, Michael A. Singer experienced a deep spiritual awakening and made the pivotal decision to relinquish his personal fears and desires and simply let life unfold before him. In The Surrender Experiment, he shares how embracing the flow of life led him to extraordinary success, sustained him through times of crisis, and allowed him to cultivate profound inner peace—whether as a young man pursuing a life of solitude in the woods, the founder of a thriving spiritual community in Florida, or the CEO of a billion-dollar medical software company.

    As he takes you through his grand experiment, Singer demonstrates how surrender is the key to a peaceful and harmonious life. His remarkable and unexpected personal experiences will challenge your deepest assumptions—teaching you how to stop trying to make the world conform to your desires, to let go of the need to control, and to place your trust in life’s inherent perfection. In a new afterword exclusive to this special hardcover edition, Singer reflects on the events of his life in the decade since his book’s publication, sharing more insights about how the concept of surrender has enhanced his life.

    Thought-provoking and moving, The Surrender Experiment will inspire you to seek the calm and freedom that comes from letting go.
    “A lone voice in the modern wilderness calling for surrender instead of striving, Singer shows how surrendering to life does not mean giving up our dreams.”—Shawn Achor, happiness researcher and New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Advantage
    “Only the rarest of books has the power to clearly explain the difference between a human being and a human doing, and why that distinction is so important. The Surrender Experiment is such a book. Inspiring, authentic, and intensely compelling.”—Dean Radin, author of The Conscious Universe
     
    “Michael Singer writes a beautiful, touching memoir on the amazing power of surrender in his life. With courage, spunk, and thoughtfulness, he has reached beyond the status quo to dare to trust life and surrender to its ultimate perfection.”—Judith Orloff MD, author of The Ecstasy of Surrender
    Michael A. Singer is the author of the New York Times #1 bestseller The Untethered Soul and The Surrender Experiment. He still lives in the woods where his great experiment began and where it continues. View titles by Michael A. Singer
