The Untethered Soul Book Club

Take a look at this overview of Part I - Awakening Consciousness of Michael A. Singer's "The Untethered Soul." This article includes some prompts for discussion and a meditation to kick off your journey to an awakened consciousness.

This section focuses on the ego. In simple terms, the ego is your inner voice that constantly talks. It's that part of you that worries, judges, desires, and compares yourself to others. It's the voice that says things like "I'm not good enough," "I should be doing more," or "Everyone else is happier than me."
