At a young age, Michael A. Singer realizes that there is a voice within him that incessantly comments on events and expresses its opinions without making any real contribution to life. The economics student abandons his academic career and silences the bothersome voice within through yoga and meditation. Precisely because he withdraws from society and rigorously commits to asceticism, he soon reaches a limit of what is spiritually achievable. How to proceed to reach the ultimate goal? The yogi understands that no further discipline will advance him. Only life itself can accomplish that. Michael A. Singer puts aside his own intentions and desires. He says yes to life as it comes to him. Unconditionally. Thus begins the experiment of surrender, an unreserved exploration with unforeseeable consequences.
