Michael A. Singer is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself. In 1971, while pursuing his doctoral work in economics, he experienced a deep inner awakening and went into seclusion to focus on yoga and meditation. In 1975, he founded Temple of the Universe, a yoga and meditation center where people of any religion or set of beliefs can come together to experience inner peace. Through the years, he has made major contributions in the areas of business, the arts, education, healthcare, and environmental protection.

We wanted to separate the story from Episode 10 so that you can come back to the story again and again, whenever you need the inspiration and wisdom it offers. Here is Joanna telling the Shambhala Warrior Prophecy.

I read and write about living from soul, place of abundance (instead of scarcity) and conscious leadership. This is one of the avenues that helps me to recharge, makes me better at my technology leadership work and live a peaceful life. With 2023 coming to an end I chose to express my inner voice more. It is feeling very light instead of heavy - that is an indication that it is coming from soul and not my ego. Language of competition and scarcity do not speak to me. Collaboration, consultation, and abundance are parts of my inner music.

My major is engineering where intellectualization, complexity, use of jargons, proving who is better than whom are common occurrences (Level 3 in the book "Tribal Leadership"). Does that come from a place of insecurity, pride or place of peace? What if who is better than whom - that mode of thinking is depleting us/ is really not serving us?

With our heads, minds, perfectionism, inflexibilities we come up with ideas of what life and work should look like. Significant part of world is unseen which we know little about. How meaningful it is to then come up with a specification of how life should look like? How meaningful it is to get too attached to that specification? Do we see that this specification is giving us anxiety and making us depressed when what appears in front is not up to our specifications? Why do we force ourselves repeatedly back on the "concrete" roads when "dirt" roads are meant to take us where we need to go to fulfill our callings?

During my quest of what other people are saying about thriving at work I found Michael Singer's audio book "The Untethered Soul at work". He ran a billion dollar company with more than 2000 employees. His book is from his life experience.
