Everyone's individual spiritual journey is different. That's why there are so many disparate opinions of this book. What one person can relate to is totally different from what resonates for the next person. Take what speaks to you and incorporate it into your life. For the things that don't seem to fit, don't worry about it.

I found so many helpful life wisdom tips in this book. Some of them were: 1.the goal of a relationship is not whether or not the other person's perspective changes; the goal is to soften the self content and our positions."
2.begin to see the mind through observation.
3.do you really want to know the truth? Then you must be honest, keep an open mind, and keep searching.
I gave this book a 4out of 4 in my review.

I gave this book 4 stars. It is a very positive book, providing guides to a better self. There may be some parts that went against my beliefs but I saw his point and I know the author meant well. A reader should have an open mind to really appreciate this book. Regardless of readers' religion, race or gender, this book discusses universal topics that is applicable to all.

I have rated The Unbound Soul a 4 out of 4 stars. The book was professionally edited. The author has explained how to meditate, the importance of exercise, food, and prayer. This book may not be for everyone, however, you may find information that can bring changes in your life. I loved that there was so much to take away from the book and reflect in our life.

I downloaded this book because it was book of the month. This is not my usual genre and I've struggled reading it. Overall I would give it a 3 out of 4 stars. Parts of the book were hard for me to grasp. The first part of the book took me rereading it twice to fully understand. I did like his reasonings about the mind deceiving you. I also took to heart his teachings on leading a healthier simple life. I did see the humor in the book and it was very inspiring. However, this is not the book for me. I would recommend to fans of this genre or self-help fans.

The book was written to inform, and that is what Haight accomplished. If someone needed some spiritual uplifting, then they would need to find the part of the book that fits what they are looking for and flow with it. I like the way Haight tells of his coming of age in the beginning and why it seemed that he tried so many different meditations to exact the right feel for him.

I really liked the book. There were a lot of characters, but he introduced them slowly and was very descriptive, so it was easy to keep them straight. Also, because he introduced each chapter with a person's name, it helped to learn the characters and helped with the flow of the story, in my mind. I would definitely recommend it to others.

I am enjoying the book so far. If it wasn't the book of the month, I don't think I would have normally read something like this. I am a very spiritual person so the ideas and topics that are brought up are familiar, but a little different; different enough to make me think in a different way.

This sounds like an interesting read. More often when choosing a book like this one I would look for something a little different, however, I think I will at least read the sample to see what it's about. Thank you for the review!

I haven't read this book yet, but it is an area that I am interested in and is on my to read list. I wanted to get a feel for what people thought of it. There seems to be a wide range of opinion.

I rate it with a perfect score. I loved how Richard Haight synthesized the vast ladder of unveiling our soul in practical and strong methods that we can use in our daily routine. His style of choosing his words carefully helped me to clarify a few spiritual aspects.

I think this book provides a lot of insight as well as numerous helpful ideas that would be beneficial in everyday life, even for those who aren't necessarily seeking enlightenment. I did think it was difficult to get through some of it because of Haight's writing style - at some times it was almost overly wordy in an attempt to sound more philosophical. But I did really like the mixture of personal anecdotes and instruction, as it made the content a bit lighter and easier to grasp.

From all the reviews that I've read about it, my rating is 3. What I like most about it is the author's determination to achieve his goal.

I always like to see authors telling their own story, and with the little bit of added humour this book quickly hooked me. Providing small exercises, a thought provoking message and really good editing, I'd give this book 3/4. Was it my favourite book? No, but for something outside of my preferred genre, I really enjoyed it.
