"The Surrender Experiment" by Michael A. Singer
Review by Borodutch
Mike has objectively succeeded in life; we can't argue against that. This book is almost like his autobiography, exploring his whole journey in detail. However, the most essential part of it is that Singer learned how to "surrender" to life events. Even though one can not know that that was the key to his success, the philosophy of it does sound legit.
Michael consciously chose to give into what life had in store for him and tried his best to perform the work wholeheartedly. Instead of thinking, "Oh, what a drag," he approached life with eternal gratitude toward every task. At the same time, he emphasized humility as we're specks on a rock flying through the vastness of space.
Live life and be open to everything the universe throws at you.
I'm skeptical about whether this led to his success or not. First, the story begins with a vibe similar to "My father gave me a small loan of $1,000,000." Second, most events occurred during the two golden eras of the United States—the early 1980s and the late 1990s. Everything was booming, and even a hermit who meditated in the woods could make a fortune.
"The Surrender Experiment," even though cheesy, made me rethink my values and approach to life.
