Overall rating and opinion of "The Unbound Soul" by Richard L. Haight

I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars because it was well-written and also it was professionally edited the fact that errors were almost none.

I enjoyed reading this book a few months ago. Parts of it still stick in my head, so it was clearly a good book. I really loved the "why not all of us?" line in the book.

Hello Everyone,
I see there are many controversies surrounding The Unbound Soul. For me, it helped in my quest for spiritual awareness. No, I don't agree with everything Haight wrote. I appreciate the fact that he doesn't want the readers to agree with everything. He shares his own experiences and gives suggestions to others trying to find their own inspirience. I gave it 4 out of 4 stars because it helped me where I am now. I read it twice and I went on to listen to the audio of Inspirience: Meditation Unbound: The Unconditioned Path to Spiritual Awakening. I think both work together and any reader on a spiritual journey can take what they need from them.

I don't feel you can read them and come away with nothing useful for your life, but a reader would have to make that choice individually.

One can't really write a wonderful self help book without much involving oneself because we draw thoughts and insights from our experiences. This book is amazing though i can't really say it is for everyone since not every idea in it is applicable to all readers. It will still be dependent on the reader.

I've only read the sample of this book and I won't be reading any more of it. It's seem well enough written, but I'm a bit wary of self-proclaimed 'gurus' who claim to have a special insight into the mysteries of the universe. Not for me, this one.

I thought this book was really good at first, but his arguments seemed to become somewhat hypocritical toward the end, and the format wasn't great (I had the audiobook), so I gave it a rating of 3 out of 4 stars.

I am still debating whether or not to read this book. I like a lot of the ideas behind the book, and I am really interested in reading about spiritual growth. I also like that the author added humor and anecdotes. However, it seems like it isn't the best edited book based on the reviews.

I read the book. Gave it a 4 out of 4-star rating. I thought the autobiographical part was a good idea as it made us all feel more empathetic towards Richards ideas.

Meditation is part and parcel of our spiritual life, adding how to eat healthy and how to stay healthy is a plus for me especially in a spiritual book

Just because the author did everything in his power to include almost everything a book can need : from health, comedy, religion etc etc the unbound soul deserves a perfect score

I really liked the book. I rated it 4 out 4. The book is intriguing and the author really did a good job from spirituality to healing and cut across other facet of life. Although, I did not approve some of the teachings.

"The Outbound Soul" is a very good read, by Richard L. Haight. You can understand what the author is trying to tell us, through his own journey, and how he makes a connection with his inner thoughts. However, some of his theories I may not agree with, but it is easy to relate to what he is trying to say. It is definitely a book worth reading.

Personally I only enjoyed the humour in the book but I found some concepts a little hard to understand. I don't think many people will identify with this book.

At first, I wasn't interested in reading this book but after seeing reviews like this I'm having second thoughts on it. I'm hoping to enjoy it as much as you did.
