I went into reading this book with an open mind, as the author asks the reader to do. I understood the author when he conveyed his experiences throughout the book and even used his own terminology for it. I just feel at times in the book there were too many things the author was trying to express and convince the reader to allow for in his or her life, and it became cumbersome- even a bit overwhelming. I had difficulty maintaining interest at those points. I feel this is an interesting read for anyone who is interested in learning of someone else's spiritual experience.

I gave this book 4 stars. Despite my personal beliefs different from the author's, It did not hinder me to appreciate his book and digest the realizations and reminders on what is more important in life.

I read this book and rated it 4 out of 4 stars because it was well-written and obviously from a place of inspiration. This book is very thought provoking. Whether the reader agrees or disagrees with Haight, it will make you consider your spiritual life. I liked it was written with honesty and that it was easy to read.

I would give this book 3 out of 4 stars. The whole idea of the book was amazing, especially the humor was so good and added such beauty to it. But I don't think I would go for this book again.

I did not like this one. I felt as though the author just made a mish-mash of many religions and came up with some sort of other religion. I agree that he was vague and at times he seemed contradictory. It was an overall confusing read and completely unsatisfying.

I give this book a 4 out of 4. I enjoyed this book as it opened my eyes to things I was not yet aware of. There wasn't really anything I disliked about it. I would 100% recommend this book for anyone to read. They must be open minded and willing to learn though!

The Unbound Soul :techie-studyinggray:
by Richard L. Haight
Rating: 2 out of 4.

It is clear that the author Richard L. Haight was very passionate about his work and that he fully believed in what he was sharing. However, I found his approach too set in mysticism, so my rating may be based on personal opinion and expectation.

I, personally agree with some parts of the book like what the author wants to preach on religion but not all of it. Therefore, i rate it 3 out of 4 stars.

The book constitutes a decent effort to combine Christianism with eastern traditions. I have nothing against that, I just felt that at times the author fed me with way too much information. Whatever the case, it certainly gives you a different perspective.

I wasn't fond of the book and some ideas seem to fly over my head because of its lack of explanation

I gave The Unbound Soul by Richard L. Haight a 3 out of 4stars I was reading it at a time where I found the information to be spiritual help. The meditation practice was really nice and it was written so it kept my interest and I could find the humor in it. I like it and I recommend it to my spiritual peers
