The Surrender Experiment

As a young doctoral student studying economics in Florida, Michael A. Singer experienced a deep spiritual awakening and made the pivotal decision to relinquish his personal fears and desires and simply let life unfold before him.

In The Surrender Experiment, he shares how embracing the flow of life led him to extraordinary success, sustained him through times of crisis, and allowed him to cultivate profound inner peace—whether as a young man pursuing a life of solitude in the woods, the founder of a thriving spiritual community in Florida, or the CEO of a billion-dollar medical software company.

As he takes you through his grand experiment, Singer demonstrates how surrender is the key to a peaceful and harmonious life. His remarkable and unexpected personal experiences will challenge your deepest assumptions—teaching you how to stop trying to make the world conform to your desires, to let go of the need to control, and to place your trust in life’s inherent perfection.

In a new afterword exclusive to this special hardcover edition, Singer reflects on the events of his life in the decade since his book's publication, sharing more insights about how the concept of surrender has enhanced his life.
