Where his first book The Untethered Soul introduces witness consciousness, Living Untethered dives into the mechanics: how the psyche, emotions, and samskaras (energetic blockages) actually work under the hood. Singer unpacks what he calls the “three‑ring circus”: outside events (experienced through the senses), emotional reactions (heart center), and thoughts (the mind). He offers specific, repeatable techniques to stay open, release stored pain, and let life’s energy move freely through you.​​

By the time he wrote Living Untethered, Singer had spent decades teaching, running a large business, and fielding countless questions from students about how to apply his core teachings in the reality of our messy lives. The book reflects that seasoned teacher voice, a systematic unpacking of the inner work he’s watched people struggle with & break through.

What you can get from reading it

• A detailed map of how experiences become impressions (samskaras) lodged in the heart and body, and why they keep resurfacing as triggers until fully felt and released.​
• Concrete practices — positive thought, mantra, and especially ongoing witness awareness — to work with intense emotion without collapsing into it.​​
• Guidance on staying relaxed in the face of discomfort, using each surge of resistance as an opportunity to clear old patterns rather than reinforce them.​
• Exploration of acceptance and “acknowledging reality” as spiritual practices: letting go of the inner argument with what’s happening so fresh energy and creativity can flow.​
• A more structured, almost “how‑to manual” feel for living free in daily life — money, relationships, stress — while anchored in the same witness Self introduced in the first book.​​

Highly recommend reading his memoir The Surrender Experiment to explore what a journey of living untethered truly looks like... just trust us!
