The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself

I had a rollercoaster journey with this book. It started strong with the concept of the overthinking mind narrating daily life and how this has a massive impact on how experience life in general. The author has a way with words and storytelling which allows you to quickly grasp these concepts and helps you relate them to your life. However I found this and other concepts in the book frustrating because the writer spent so much time explaining and making you aware of this inner voice without nearly as much explanation of how to 'manage' it. It's only in the last few pages that he quickly lists some more practical applications of his advice (with meditation and yoga), but it just feels chucked in there.It's clear that the book is written for someone who is already tuned into spiritual learning because for someone who is more 'practical', for lack of a better term, understanding an implementing the writer's advice is frustrating to say the least.I said I was on a rollercoaster though and I'll explain that. I gained so much insight and 'aha' moments it made my head spin, but this was around every other chapter. Then in an equal number of chapters I felt disconnected and frustrated.It's like the author wanted to appeal to a wider audience with his storytelling and breakdown of spiritual concepts but then falls back into spiritual jargon and enlightenment within just a few paragraphs. There's also an air of privilege within the book which surfaces when the author tells you to aim to be happy no matter what life throws at you. While I understand the benefit of this, it's pretty insensitive.I'm left feeling both frustrated and uplifted by this book, which is why I've given it 3 stars.
