The Surrender Experiment by Michael A. Singer [9/10] 272 pages   This is Michael's autobiography and it is mind-blowing. Michael had an awakening in his early twenties. This left him hungry for more and all he wanted to do was meditate. That is what he did. He bought land, built a house and was determined to live alone and meditate all day, every day. One day Michael had an insight, which helped him to recognize that Life was far more intelligent than he could ever be, and It knew much better than him what was right. He decided that he would no longer try to manipulate life, but go with anything that it presented to him. Very quickly Life lead Michael far from the lonely life of a forest-dwelling yogi. He became a university teacher, his property attracted others who soon built a temple there, he started hosting spiritual masters in his home, he founded a construction company and later another multi-million dollar business. Throughout this journey Michael was always resistant to these big changes, but kept remembering the decision to let Life choose. In the book, he repeats over and over again, that he did not ask for any of that, and in fact did not even know how it all happened.   The main point that I took from this book was: the spiritual journey might not be what you think. The author retreated to the forest with a rigorous discipline practice, but in the end he found the greatest liberation in the world, surrendering to Life's will.
