Most of us go to work to fulfill our needs: to pay the rent or prove our worth or to feel like we're contributing to a cause. What's in common with all of these reasons? They're all about "me." Okay, then what's the alternative? Michael explains.
About The Untethered Soul at Work:
Michael goes in-depth to address ten common workplace challenges, including: finding satisfaction and fulfillment, the art of conscious communication, inspired creativity and problem solving, and more. Here, he helps us apply the essential lessons from his acclaimed books in the everyday realities of work life.

My best days at work are the ones where I feel most of service to my team.
Just 1.5 mins in and I already feel at home. I know I’m going to hear exactly what I came to hear. Exciting! 🎉 Because EVERYTHING in life is a spiritual journey. Amen.
Thanks so much for sharing! Made a big smile happen... :)
Incredible! Life changing! Thank you. I will listen to this often as a reminder to pause and center myself, and to remember I am here to get rid of those troublesome things within me. Serving becomes fun, profound, a blessed experience. ♥️♥️
Yes you give of yourself but the street goes both ways. If you are not being recognized or compensated for your efforts then its time to move on and you will find something that will be rewarding
It also goes both ways in the fact that you’ll get some seriously negative karma if you don’t give and work
Yes yes yes … that’s what I have believed for all my life and so glad that I have had this confirmation today by Michael 💐💖🌍🙏🏻🙏🏻😂🙏🏻✨🧘✨
Cute that this video has come at a time when I’ve decided to leave my spiritual recess and re-join the workforce 😅❤
Wonderful transformative talk! Thank you, Mr. Singer and Sounds True for so freely giving these gems to us. Much gratitude!
Thank you so much Micheal Singer ❤
I read all your books and really find you helpful
This message FLOWED to me. Thank you 🙏🏾✨
love it! Thank YOU
@@SoundstrueManyVoices You're welcome!
Yes, I totally agree that 'spiritual work is all work.' Thank you Michael for speaking to us about your lived experiences. I relate to what you have said, and I am so inspired!
So I was wording this philosophy by saying, "I don't work, I just live, and work is just a part of my life that I'm living....as I do every other aspect of my life.
I see this takes it even several Divine steps over my initial thinking on the subject. This info really is invaluable, and expands on Michael's suggestions of life being an entire Spiritual experience. I'm listening to this several times, and taking notes. Thank you so much.
You know, I find it interesting that many people enjoy a life as such.
I somehow end up leaving work after work, place after place due to feeling like I’ve outgrown them.
So then I tell people to just keep on following their fire and bot settle… yet maybe aome people are here to settle, some people are just here to be in a 9-5 job feeding their family without a worry in the world.
Just like the Black man was supposed to accept and continue to ride in the back of the bus….
I see the perspective of acceptance as that which enables one to find satisfaction in every moment…. Yet when I was drugged with ST John Wort antidepressants I could care less about the job I was in!
Too bad my skin started falling off… see what I mean? Every time I want to just “settle”, the whole world is like…. “Go fight!, go get em tiger!”…. Yet I share this fighting attitude to others and always get the same, old, antiquated response…. Just find acceptance wherever you are….
Wattt… paradox…almost like life has a plan for us and we can’t just waffle away a huge topic such as fighting or not fighting on such a simple idea of “just accept it man”….naaahhhh bruhhh, “if rosa parks had just accepted IT, there wouldn’t be rights today, if MLK had just “accepted “ IT, there wouldn’t be equality today, if Richard Lee had just accepted being a colony ruled by England there wouldn’t have been a Declaration of Independence!!!!…
The only acceptance one needs is the acceptance that you impose upon your free will that you are not strong enough, capable enough, vigorous enough to achieve and receive all that you ever wanted.
this is exactly the message i needed to hear- amazing how that happens. i was just asking myself what i needed to do, think, be to feel motivated and passionate about my work again.
Exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Exactly. We all are part of the whole thing. The real problem with the economy and jobs is the unfair distribution of wealth.
Many times work don't flow, or you don't flow with work, and you are in anxiety looking for a way you can give service and also be in peace. I've been really stressed working, and also with anxiety when work finished (used to work in projects with a start and an end). Still looking for that answer and balance, as when you don't work you feel really guilty... and that's not the way neither. You work in life. But life is not work. ❤ Sharing my perception & experience.
What a great topic to hear from him on! I love and admire him he is truly awake thank u for posting
Amazing! Love you Mickey

Marvelous teaching Thanks!!
Thank you 🙏🏾
What a great message
Short, sweet, to the point. Thank you.
Thank You
Woww thank youuu , 🥰🥰🥰
Masterful, to say the least.
Offer everything to serving the universe and serving the one brotherhood of humanity. I love how he talks about raising the energy of everything that is in front of you. I do think sometimes it may be time to leave behind a work situation or leave an environment that is not supportive of your spiritual growth. But I agree that make yourself spiritual first and then you will see the right path forward.
If you read his book The Surrender Experiment, he only quit a job when another job he was doing demanded more of his time and brought in more money. He also quit pursuing his PhD to do one of the jobs that kept him too busy. So he sort of let events push him from one thing to another.
This is quite powerful!!! Thank you for your wisdom!!!
Wow!
Thank you Michael and SoundsTrue for this
This is a truly profound message - thank you
Fascinating perspective
Thank you for your books and your podcast!
Beautiful video 🤩
Wow. Incredible insight here.
Exactly what I needed to hear this morning heading in to work.
Thank you so much for this clip. It answers my question.
Thank you Guruji 🙏🙏🙏
Let's go guys!! We got this!!!
Thank you very much.your words really enlighten me
Beautiful! Thank you Michael, it's quite something to be on this journey on earth with you
This is priceless! Thank you so much for sharing! I'm grateful for this message. 😇
Thank you for this wonderful guidance 💫
this is the greatest gift in my day. thank you
Thank you! I totally agree with his words and hear it from someone that I admire makes me feel supported. 💖💖☺️
Off to work now - thank you Mr Singer!
Great amazing video❤
What a beautiful and life-changing perspective! Much gratitude for the sharing of this message!
I am not too familiar with Singer's work and teachings, but I find this woefully incomplete. There are pearls of wisdom here certainly, but it smacks of the solipsism of severe privilege. Positivity which eschews the full reality of human experience is just plainly not all there is to spirituality.
I hear in this message why I am drawn to the Taoists rather than the Confucianists and to the Christians rather than the Buddhists. And this is coming from somebody who loves to work, who discovered years ago that bringing a humble, service-oriented mindset is key to having livity in this world.
I never got anywhere from blaming myself for my suffering, and I have never felt the need to tell others that it is only their fault that they are not well. Being not okay is real.
Wow this is clearly the reassuring message I needed to hear! I have the opportunity to practice this today and every day in every aspect of my life.🙏❤
So glad you enjoyed this!

Amazing Amazing teacher ! Thank you , Master
Thank U 🙏🙏❤️ , this is Epic 😍😍😇
Just trying to find work
Hi I hope you are doing well and happy❤
@@wasekanahar1652☺thanks man!
As a student of Advaita and Devotional Nonduality for about 20 years the integration of the subject of work with the "in the trenches" of letting go the sense of separation/ego has always been a challenge. Also translating the truths of Karma Yoga into the modern world has been confusing - at best. Your work over the years as been a light house on how to integrate the truths of Yoga, Advaita, Nonduality with the nitty gritty nuances of the modern world. This content that you produced here was not only well timed, but EXACTLY what was needed. Thank you Michael for all that you have shared and contributed.
I was just making a decision to do all that few months ago. It’s been motivating me, it’s not easy i keep forgetting but the work place is now much more helpful and meaningful than before. A place to get rid of yourself to give from yourself forget the ego work is work!
Wow🤔💭This is so helpful👏🏽Amazing information!!! Now I know why I love what I do! And I can do better👏🏽🥰
Great stuff!!! I needed this to push forward with my programming career🤓
I knew a guy that hated his job but he stuck at it through the tough stuff for years. In the end he was trusted enough because of the tough times, to be given the role he deserved. The ego wants to run, but you stand still and know yourself.
Ah Yes suffer through life for 'work'
My daily listen
Chang the way you look at things , so the thing you look at change. It's so important to change and not yo be stagnant
that was helpfull
It sounds right.. he says in short whatever you do, do it with love. Whether this change people's lives for better or not, this needs to be proven!! Plus all solutions are not depending merely on individuals. There's whole giant running economy and industry out there dominating the people like slaves. Do not expect too much from slaves. Mercy please 😔
OK BUT! I have foud to be quite harmful to percieve ourselves as “a problem” or flawed, it is harmful to think that if we are not enjoying our works it’s because we are a problem and we are getting in the way of our own happiness when the reality for so many people is that they don’t even make enough money to pay rent or feed their children, there are so many layers of injustice in the system that we live in that are causing an inbalance in the world and in the hearts of many individuals, so this message, as beautiful as it is, it Is also byassed by privilege and it only applies for a few and it can be hurting people or making people feel guilty for not being “spiritual enough”.
I m OK I am enough I am alright 😃😊🦌🙏🌷
I will become a karmic yogi 🙏 Thanks Mr.Singer
🥰
I keep thinking one of these days I'm going to listen to something Michael Singer says and it's not going to be one of the best things I've ever heard. Still hasn't happened. Don’t miss the link to the whole free course in the description.
👌♥️🙏
7:37 "You could sweep a floor and literally be in ecstacy. As you sweep the floor and see that you're cleansing something to make it so that other people have a beautiful experience."
It's seeing the larger picture and values behind your work that gives it meaning and purpose. Any tips from Michael on how to do this?
Spiritual people can also call people on their b.s. 🎉❤
Alrighty then🤪
🤯
🕉🙏❤
I've alwayed beieve we are here to serve tbe pkanet plane each other
Wonderful video. And curiously misleading hashtags.
Thanks for the comment. We know a lot of people are actually struggling with work and our intention with these hashtags is to hopefully encounter more of those folks online. No intention to mislead, but rather to respond, join in the conversation, and hopefully inspire some folks. Thanks again.
Ok. What if you have the job that you love and dreamed of doing. The type that puts you in a position to serve and do it with love, but you feel like it is slipping away? What then?
Tell this to people that are homeless like myself with CPTSD, anxiety and depression.
Exactly. This is also basically saying 'if you're having a problem with being exploited by an employer, you should just change your attitude and be happy about it. If you don't want to let yourself or others be exploited and abused by people with more power and resources, then you're not spiritual enough and instead of trying to change the world for the better for everyone, you need to change your attitude and be fine with it.' Super toxic but a super convenient message to push for someone who's already very comfortable materially and has a lot to lose if status quo isn't maintained.
The fact that you have access to this information is a blessing that you should be grateful for so that you can awaken from your current situation. Everything is connected and everything happens for a reason. Growth is not found in comfort. And yes I talk from experience. You are always presented to two choices, repeat or evolve. If you think that the externall world can bring you change based on what you think, you will suffer. Begin by finding out who you truly are by going within, then the external world will match your vibration by giving you exactly what you need to grow, not what you expect. Who is it that has anxiety and depression? Is it you or your thoughts? Who is it that is thinking? Try to figure that out first before the mind starts judging these pointers in the video and yes they are pointers, noone can give your true nature, you have to realise it for yourself. Teachers can only lead you to the door and give you the key, youre the one that has to open it, and it takes courage. Change is never painful but only our resistance to it. Namaste.
@@howwewitch if u feel u are being exploited and also u are not getting to grow u can always switch jobs. Here he is talking about the inner friction which makes us hate the job and run away from the now
@@howwewitch if you read some his books, he talks alot about his personal journey. And yes, I too found myself comparing which isnt the right way to go about it.
You can seek change, but while change is taking place, or taking its time to happen, you have a choice of how you want to feel.
Now changing the way you feel while you're going through immense difficulty is not easy, and many spiritual leaders offer their own paths to reaching that better mental and emotional state.
The work in this case is exactly to let go of the part of you that is causing depression, anxiety and making you be exploited (from the comment below)
What about work that you feel is harming society?
What if you work in a toxic place?
Bingo! And are micromanaged and harassed by a manager that has chosen to have a hate on for you, to the point where you walk out the door. What if your job is making you sick..........I would rather sweep a floor somewhere everyday where I am appreciated. The workplace has rarely been a happy place for me
@@debbietodd8547 then quit.
@@anoridinaryhumanbeing70 I did...........
6:15 lol
I work for money, so I can have food, clothes, and shelter from the elements.
Its "quitquitting". Not "quite".
Typo in the title.
Culture domain.
Cross culture .
Baniye basati laxmi.
Angan wadi is Indian term.
😑🤦🙄 and the rest of us are just trash apparently.
I can't find a job that doesn't physically destroy me and put me in burnout. What's an autistic/ADHD person to do, I cannot think myself happy to actually get a job or a way to make income.
Most people work to eat not because they want status lol this guy is a millionaire, most people do not have his luxuries
Food will come, if there is a sense of wanting to contribute. Making that the pure focus doesn't seem any great. Any job from sweeping the roads to running country or a corporation could be possibly an expression. I can understand if you can't relate. 🙏🏽. Thought to leave a response anyways. Wish you a wonderful day ahead. Thank you.
