The Surrender Experiment
内容简介
From the author of the New York Times #1 bestseller The Untethered Soul comes this thought-provoking, inspirational memoir on the magic that happens when you just let go
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.

读书文摘
如何做成一件事？ 做成一件事，首先因为这件事是一件对的事，所以如果不是甲来做，就是乙来做。不是我做，也会有别人来做。我们如果有机会做这件事，是因为我们恰巧在某个时间、某个情境碰到了这个机会，成为做成这件事的“工具”。那我们能做的，不是觉得自己是救世主，而是把自己这个“工具”不断“变得更好”，把这件事做成。
我们有上天赋予的意志，可以遵从内心来决定想要一件事情办成什么样子，并且以头脑、内心以及身体的力量来使外部世界服从。但这也使我们需要不断面对自我方式与自然方式的斗争。个人意志与现实生活的斗争最终总是会消耗我们的生命。在这场战斗中，胜利时，我们欢欣鼓舞；失败时，我们垂头丧气。多数人只会在得偿所愿的时候开心，因此我们总是不断试图掌控一切。问题是，非得这样做吗？
我愿意面对孤独与恐惧，而不是慌忙寻找慰藉。
