Who are you? When you start to explore this question, you find out how elusive it really is. Are you a physical body? A collection of experiences and memories? A partner to relationships? Each time you consider these aspects of yourself, you realize that there is much more to you than any of these can define. The Untethered Soul, spiritual teacher Michael Singer explores the question of who we are and arrives at the conclusion that our identity is to be found in our consciousness, the fact of our ability to observe ourselves, and the world around us. By tapping into traditions of meditation and mindfulness, Singer shows how the development of consciousness can enable us all to dwell in the present moment and let go of painful thoughts and memories that keep us from achieving happiness and self-realization. This book, copublished with the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), offers a frank and friendly discussion of consciousness and how we can develop it. In part one, he examines the notion of self and the inner dialogue we all live with. Part two examines the experience of energy as it flows through us and works to show readers how to open their hearts to the energy of experience that permeates their lives. Ways to overcome tendencies to close down to the rest of the world are the subject of part three. Enlightenment, the embrace of universal consciousness, is the subject of part four. And finally, in part five, Singer returns to daily life and the pursuit of unconditional happiness. Throughout, the book maintains a light and engaging tone, free from heavy dogma and prescriptive religious references. The easy exercises that figure in each chapter help readers experience the ideas that Singer presents.

One out of every three families in America is affected by the disease of addiction. Most of these families not only fail in understanding the nature of the disease, but also fail in understanding the decisions and reasoning made by addicts while in active addiction. My name’s Michael Reisinger and I am a 34 year old drug addict. I went from the best schools money could pay for to prison, in the short span of four years.Cocaine Daze is the first book in a series of memoirs I’m writing on my addiction, entitled the Doors of Addiction Series. The book begins explaining the joys of being young, smoking pot, and partying. Hell, that’s the same route many young adults start out taking, and it’s probably the same route you or someone in your family tried. After dropping out of college and returning home to Memphis from the University of Louisiana at Monroe, I met the girl of my dreams (Liz), and fell in love. She was everything and more I could’ve asked for in a woman. She signified what was right in life, and everything I wanted and desired in a relationship. During this same timeframe, while dealing pot, I also met a black man from the other side of the tracks, whom I looked up to and ended up emulating (Malik)- A prominent cocaine dealer in Memphis.Between the pages, my story unfolds.Woman of my dreams or my new drug of choice?Not only do families gain the insight of seeing how and why addicts make the decisions they do, but addicts closely relate and even sympathize for the transpiring battle that unfolds. After all, this isn’t just my struggle, it’s the struggle of many. The thought processes. The rationalizations. The brutality.It’s all there, littering the pages and it only gets deeper though out the series.Every book gets a little darker, more serious, and even more real.My writing style…I admit, it’s different; original. It will have you on the edge of your seat. Gripping. Holding. Waiting. You’ll feel as if you’re in the moment, wishing reality to whisk you elsewhere, but it won’t. You’ll be compelled to go through it just as I did. This is the story of my addiction.

The chapters of this book are nothing but mirrors for seeing your ''self'' from different angles. And though the journey we are about to embark on is an inner one, it will draw upon every aspect of your life. The only requirement asked of you is the willingness to honestly look at yourself in the most natural, intuitive manner. Remember, if we are seeking the root of ''self,'' what we are actually seeking is you. As you read through these pages, you will find that you know much more than you thought you did about some very deep subjects. The fact is, you already know how to find yourself; you have just gotten distracted and disoriented. Once refocused, you will realize that you not only have the ability to find yourself, you have the ability to free yourself. Whether you choose to do so or not is entirely up to you. But upon completion of your journey through these chapters, there will be no more confusion, no more lack of empowerment, and no more blaming others. You will know exactly what must be done. And should you choose to devote yourself to the ongoing journey of self-realization, you will develop a tremendous sense of respect for who you really are. It is only then that you will come to appreciate the full depth of meaning in the advice: ''This above all: to thine own self be true.''
