Eliminate the fire from your life and all will be fine. It’s like writing a book - “Fire is bad “, it can burn you and your house. It does talk bollocks sometimes but it also helps us. Really?! Is it that simple? That inner voice is there for a reason, like our heart, brain or teeth. Another example - To stop smoking all you need to do is not put the first cigarette in your mouth in the morning- as simple as that.

I understand why people praise this book- there is such an appealing idea described in this book, kind of an explanation that we have “an enemy” in our head and we need to ignore that inner voice.”It is as simple as that” - words from the book.

To be fair I should’ve given 2 stars instead of 1 star but after seeing so many 5 star reviews I felt I needed to balance it. I love personal development books but this one is really a waste of trees if you buy a hard copy in my opinion. This is the first time I decided to write a book review Was The Untethered Soul worth the listening time? I'm not sure what this does for my stats on the mobile app but I was concerned. More than a few times I struggled to comprehend what he had said, forcing me to rewind the audio and re-listen. At times, his volume is normal, and easily received, While other times, when he seems to be attempting to do the author justice, he lowers his voice for dramatic effect. My concern with his reading of this work lies solely in his volume level. For instance, the author, at the very beginning, relates to the reader by admitting that he has tried to tell the voice in his head to 'Shut Up.' This relatively regular theme of intermittent candor is refreshing.ĭid Peter Berkrot do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? The story did nothing, if not to help you find that other people are experiencing the same inner nuance you are. If the God themes are your thing, you'll also be just fine.

If the God themes aren't for you, you'll be ok. The author does bring this point around in its own chapter near the final points of the book. While this is not for everyone, many people relate to this concept. I kept waiting for the book to give more credit to divine intervention. However, I feel the Allegory itself could serve as a stand-alone. The single greatest element of this book was the 'Allegory of the House.' Essentially, one will gain greater insight into the concepts shared after having progressed through the book up to the Allegory itself. What did you like best about The Untethered Soul?
