Life Knows Better!
This is the author who was just a simple meditator in the forest.
What has unfolded since I decided to unconditionally trust the flow of my life
This book is about a remarkable journey of 40 years.

Could it be that life has more to offer us than we strive to obtain?

Michael Singer's 'surrender' experiment began with this simple question.
Is it better to create an alternative reality in my mind and fight against it to make it my own, or is it better to let go of what I desire and surrender to the power that created the perfect universe? This experiment isn't about leaving the world behind.
Rather, let us jump into life and live in a place where we are no longer swayed by personal desires and fears.


How did the author, an ordinary graduate student, become a huge success in everything he did?
When our mind discovers something it likes or dislikes, it starts to chatter about it.
This hob-ho of the mind is the reality of the voice that constantly murmurs in our heads.
Michael Singer was never a man who planned or hoped for great success.
As a graduate student, he became engrossed in yoga and meditation, and began practicing complete deafness to this mind chatter, simply as part of an attempt to achieve inner freedom and peace.
And I decided to just focus on accepting what life brings me through its natural flow.

Surrender means treating each and every thing I do as if the universe had ordered it directly from me.
What has happened over the past 40 years is nothing short of amazing.
Rather than my life falling apart as the voice in my head feared, the exact opposite happened.
Things he did without thinking, things he did with passion without expecting anything in return, things he was afraid of but considered part of his meditation practice, all intertwined as if someone had planned it, and he rose to the position of CEO of a company with annual sales of hundreds of millions of dollars.
All he did in this process was to boldly let go of himself and trust in the flow of life at every moment.

The plan of the universe is always much larger in scale than our minds can imagine.
This book is not just filled with pleasant success stories.
Rather, the highlight of this book is the moment when Michael Singer finds himself in a difficult legal battle with the FBI due to the schemes of a subordinate who committed corruption.
Even though he had resigned from the company in a dishonorable manner, he still trusted in the flow of life and saw it as a good opportunity to devote himself to writing a book of meditations that he had been putting off.
As a result, the U.S. government dropped the charges against him, and he became a #1 New York Times bestselling author.
Now back in his humble meditative state in the forest, his experiment in 'surrender' is still ongoing.
