Michael Singer's memoir of a forty-year experiment: what happens if you stop fighting what life puts in front of you and just say yes to it. He starts as a graduate student who wants nothing but solitude and ends up building a billion-dollar software company, a meditation community and a temple, mostly by not getting in the way. By the author of The Untethered Soul.
