Russell I'm completely lost I really don't know what to do I'm not that kind of guy to speak out about how I feel I'm hurting my loved ones 💔😪😔
I will definitely check out this book. Thank you
Will do! You’re MY Oprah Winfrey!! ❤️
Russell, darling, I'm real proud of the fact that you have recently, said Yes, to life! I did that recently, myself. I said yes, to being mature, and facing life. Head on. I'm glad that you will do the same :D . I got behind on your videos, I am NOT going to catch up. I tell you, everything. You responded to me on, CZcams. You have my personal cell phone number. You know I'm alive. You're rich, you have everything you need. I'm Middle Class, still. I will watch out for you, on your two, CZcams channels, beginning tomorrow. So you don't ignore me for life, and think that I HATE you, in a personal, and deadly way, I will give you a virtual kiss: (KISS). Virtual, only. Just like you like it.
Russell... my soul brother, in recovery, in Kundalini yoga, and now, in my current favourite life-changing book too. Our paths have not crossed physically, but the connection is there. 21 years sober, 4.5 years of Kundalini yoga (over 6 months, now daily), and that innate desire to be all I can be spiritually, physically and universally. Love you my brother 💚
I love you Russel lmao. You have changed my life. I was suicidal and now i can't see myself giving this life away. I'm so much more happier and I have nothing at the moment but I will one day. Your advice on having God has made me a better person. ❤️
Thank you
💓💓💓
Man's search for meaning is such an incredible book. It shook me to the core.
"The Untethered Soul" is a brilliant book that I read years ago. However, it wasn't until a few months ago that I begin listening to Michael Singer's podcast that I began rereading the book and actually practicing the surrender experiment. It has changed my life. This is not an easy practice but it is simple. I feel so blessed to have rediscovered him. Thanks for bringing him to the attention of your viewers/listeners as well, Russell.
Sounds interesting...surrender to what? The mystery of the universe!? Xx
@@trustwithin7188 To the situations that come up in your life. Read or watch a summary of the book (The Surrender Experiment), it's also a really great read. It's like going with the flow of life and not resisting.
@@Vladyyy Working on this by meditating at the moment. So much resistance and in extension, fear. How do you practice your non-resistance?
@@sterrejalou I can definitely use more work in that area. And I will put more effort into it.
With that said one thing I do is I try to stay present when situations arise that I’d normally shut down immediately. In my mind I’ve already set the intention that I want to say “yes” more to things. So when I realize I’m shutting down yet another opportunity for me to do something I am able to do a 180 and go down whatever path awaits.
When you’re remaining present (which meditating helps tremendously with) it’s a lot easier for you to notice those quick habitual responses you tend to make. Once you notice them it’s up to you to decide if you want to act in the same old same old way or go down a new path and let the Universe give you a new experience.
Another thing that helps me a ton is to reflect on how it all went! I always try to think back to how I felt when initially saying no to something and then changing it to a yes. Or just saying yes in the first place fully knowing that I would be trying something new. From there I think about all the great things that came from me taking the “unknown” path. I think of the things I’m grateful for that came as a result of saying yes.
For me that’s a vital step because it really helps to break up that habit of always choosing the “safe” route. That mental rehearsal basically strengthens a good habit (saying yes) and weakens a bad habit.
On that note I’ll have to plan to reread that book again soon because it’s such a good reminder that you can’t possibly know what’s in store for you unless you take the leap.
Also in typical Universe fashion the timing of your reply is perfect because I’m in the middle of enjoying an experience that I decided to say yes to rather than my usual no. Hope that helps!
@@Vladyyy Thanks so much for your elaborate answer. I wish you all the new and beautiful experiences :) I'll for sure remember your advice in daring to say "yes" more often and take the leap.
I've decided I'm going to have a Russell Brand movie marathon. I'm going to watch them all, starting with the oldest. Thank you for all the goodness you send out to us.
Of the many books that I have read throughout my life, no other book has left me with such a strong impression as The Untethered Soul. Reading his two books and subsequently listening to Michael Singer's audio lectures has been more transformative than any therapy, religious, or psychedelic experience I've yet had. I owe a lot to this amazing author.
What's the second one?
@@ibrahimalexander4653 "The Surrender Experiment" by Michael A. Singer
You have probably found this book already Ibrahim. I shared it for anyone else who also has this question. May we all be well joyously 😁 💛 ✌🏾.
I love that book! It's been on my coffee table for over a year. Often re-read passages of it. Very helpful to center oneself, come back to more consciousness. Aspiring to have a "quiet mind and an open heart" as often as possible.
Just finished Untethered Soul last week. A lot of good insights in there. I find I tend to mull things over far ages after they happen and now I am simply amused watching thinking "there she goes... Replaying that convo... How long will she keep at it this time?" Lol. "Look at her go. Getting all upset over basically nothing...."
Thanks Russell for introducing me to Michael Singer. As a 50 year old father of 4, I very recently became aware of the concept that you are not your thoughts and this completely blew me away.
Singers way of conveying the message is just so beautiful. I particularly like that it’s not overly God-ish which I think and hope makes it very accessible to a broader bunch of people.
Best book on spirituality. Changed my life for the best.
For those like me who would sooner drink battery acid than trust Oprah, please remember that a team of likely hundreds if not thousands of people work to find the books and create the content for her show. She is just a face. With that said, this book is incredible and my life has not been the same since reading it.
Haha you got something right - but if a debate going on atm re RB and as soon as he starts in about ol oompah winforfree, I know which side of the debate I’m on
Perfectly put 👍🏼
Pass the battery acid, please. I read this book 3 times back to back, however...
Didn't seem your usual self when chatting then you kinda tranced out went into kinda a drone mode , I had not long done the heart charka thing , so I could clearly see you were missing the usual love and sparkle, cover black unicorn humm...ophra humm, but other than the thorn you were clearly dealing with then content good , hope you find peace brother 🙏
I'm with you Suzy, I use to trust her, I no longer do. Yet, what I've learnt about life is take what's relevant and what resonates, leave the rest behind
I’ve had The Untethered Soul on my Wish List for so long. I came across the journal just today. Then look on CZcams and here is this video explaining the book and I now I think I’ll finally make that purchase! Thanks Russell!
Yes, love Michael Singer. What an incredible soul, just like you!!!
His course Surrender Experiment is a game changer!
Hi where is that available thanks have a wonderful day
I bought this book because of your recommendation and its extremely powerful and its changed my fucking life. Thank you Russ!
It’s so powerful isn’t it
I live near Mickey’s Temple of the universe and use to go to Satsang there three days a week for years. I probably should have never stopped. I have had his book for years and recently I have turned to it as I never really reached a solid seat of consciousness to peacefully witness that dialogue of fear that goes on and on in there. I realize now that is truly the only important thing because things always change. I was pleasantly surprised to hear you speaking of his book. I am glad I came across this video. Thank you for putting it up. Very encouraging for me.
i was recommended this book today. so obviously that means to dive in and read pieces of it and CZcams about this prior to purchase. love that you recommended it as well. I'm scared but ready. thank you for being so open.
bought his book a while ago and listen to it on audio too...STAY FREE you beautiful being of LOVE And TRUTH and LIGHT YOU!! Namaste from CANADA!!
This book literally was a crossroads in my new way of thinking, It made me think and analyze what I was doing with my life. That was about 3 years ago and only this year has everything made sense.
Thank you for sharing the book! I will never listen to Ophra but thank you! I have completely changed my view of you since listening to your pod casts! Subbing to this channel as well! Thank you, Russell; for being you, sharing your journey, and letting us be part of your learning and growth!!!! Love all your posts!
I listened to this book on audio for the first time about a week or so ago. Since then I have fallen asleep reading it at least 6 times. It has changed my life more than any other book in recent memory.
I just finished listening to Revelation. We all at some point in our life have to deal with struggles whether they be addiction, inner demons, childhood trauma, loss or all of the above. Not all of us are at the stage where we can honestly and frankly share those experiences and when sharing them not point our finger of blame at everyone and everything. This is what you have done in Revelation. Very refreshing & honest. I had two cats who died of renal failure, a brother and sister 2 years apart. The love you shared with them will stay with you always.
Wow Russell, Just saw you on American TV"s Kelly and Ryan morning show. What a clear concise explanation of our current state of life you made. As a young man growing up in the late sixties early seventies, I also had to struggle with addictions and temptations from all directions, be they sex, drugs or the rock and roll excesses. Also I saw the fragility and strain placed on our society and environment caused by inequality, greed, a go-go competitive, get ahead mentality, waste, destruction and war. It affected everything in my life and I sought refuge in a pipe and pot. I never married or had children, not by choice, but knowing perhaps this was such a screwed up planet, that I might not be able to convince a child that it would all be fine for their future. But thank God for faith in my life, as it was the rock that grounded me. My parents instilled religion in me, and as you said, the older I got the more it helps on this very temporary existence on this "ball of confusion".
You Russell are very inspiring and your past has added so much to your knowledge. Your very much needed at this time, as I think we all needed the pandemic in some way to slow down and do a reassessment of how to move forward, and to appreciate everyday blessings we all have.
Hope this post isn't too long winded, but you made more sense in two minutes this morning, than I have heard in 20 years. Will check out your other posts and audible revelations. Thank you and God bless you. Mike from Boston
This book changed my life. I keep two copies so I always have one to lend and since joining Audible, Revelation and The Untethered Soul were my first two audio books. 🙏🏻
Omg! I've been recently listening to the audiobook version and love it! I made my 25 yr old daughter listen to some to help her too!
I'm a fan of the new spiritual you, dude! We both like this book...so cool.
You have been a part of getting me through this pandemic and so many things, including doing a masters during this year! Thank you so much
Russell I want to say a BIG Thank You Sincerely with All My Heart for all the Time You Give Your channel..
Always Enjoy your version of the English language & your ability to cause a great (jaw drop)
This journey is lonely no more ..
In The Love 💖 & ☀️Light 🙏
I've read this book twice. and listened to the audio once. Loved it. Negative thinking is a thing, and it needs to be addressed in ones life, in order to move past all the crap.
Exactly what I needed this morning. Thank you Brother Russell 🙏🏼✨🌅
I love this book- I have it on audible and return to it over and over again- especially when I know I may be heading into what in my mind is a difficult situation. It returned me back to being an observer of the emotions and not a reactor to the emotions that life's events gift me. - Very powerful
I LOVE the way your presence and humor is so brilliant! 🧚♂️☀️💜
Love the thorn analogy. Ordered the book while watching this video.
Really pleased you've continued these book club videos having been interested to hear your thoughts on this one since presiously mentioned. Have not long finished this book and found it both a thought-provoking and easy read! Have been tempted to pick up the Surrender Experiment as well. Look forward to the next book club video!
I’ve heard about this book from Tony Robbins, just purchased it for my wife for Christmas on Amazon. I’m a long time subscriber of your Chanel as well, it’s funny how most of my roads lead me back to you:)
I have been a big follower of Eckhart Tolle for some time, and just yesterday I found Michael Singer and his work completes all the others, much more clarity.
I read this book when you first mentioned it. I love it and have benefitted greatly. Still re-read it often.
I just happen to be reading this book right now and I just finished chapter 10. It is fabulous and Russle and Oprah are right. Its an important book for taming one's inner-world.
Wow, the big “O,” personally gave you that command. How exciting is that?
Thank you for inspiring us! I’m so happy you found your way out, and thank you for helping all of us who are on the journey
You must know this healed me. I have been healed of the many thorns. Much love brother Russell brand your the man
Once again, Russell, thank you for your book video - they are all so helpful, reminding, refreshing, and refocussing one on ones own journey within. So vital for us all.
Thank you, got your advice earlier, that inspired me to read and work with the book 🙌🌸
Next audible is your Recovery - curious 👍
greetings from Germany Petra
The Untethered Soul is one of the books on my Top 10 books that I listed when I was a guest on Sandie Sedgbeer's "No BS Spiritual Book Club" this past month. Singer's book is life changing, and one of the rare books that influences you while you're reading the book. Truly well-written, indeed! I love how you say this book "can give you more than a glimpse of eternity"--well said!
Surrender experiment was life changing for me x
I read this many years ago....but gave it away when I was moving...wish i'd kept it! Loving both your channels these days.
Just got assigned this book by my english professor! So happy to see it endorsed by Brother Russel
It changed me too. I read it before Eckhart Tolle and it had a huge impact. I love Singer's sense of humor and down to earthiness.
I agree! That book changed my life too. I bought dozens of copies for my friends and family.
I heard of him because of your interview with him. I thought it sounded like something that could help with my OCD. I ordered the book and it arrived today. Thank you.
Russell's Book Club! This is exactly what I needed in my life. Many Lives, Many Masters by Brian Weiss was mind blowing to me. Or the Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan.
Only just found this channel, I’m so excited!
Search for meaning is definitely one that I’d love you to talk about
This book changed my life as well. I have recommended this book on so many occasions in just under a year since I have read it!
A great breakdown of food is aversions. Which often isn't broken down very well or easily for people to understand. Excellent share
I had two masses removed from my lower back today after dealing with them for 5 years! Took pain pills for 5 years..how funny that you point out this metifor. Perfect timing bravo!
Please find Michael Singer’s lecture series available on Audible. I constantly listen to his lectures in my car, to the point that I almost memorized parts of the lectures. 8 hours of spiritual reminders. A must!
This is a remarkable book. Recommend the Audible version with the printed copy. Take loads of notes, revisit often. We must make the conscious effort to stay open always. The thorn is such an apt metaphor. Yes, the Stoics visited this too. Spirituality is everything.thanks for your new book Russell! I have it on Audible.
Thank you for letting us know if this book. I just downloaded the audible and it will begin to listen to it
Just finished this book. Want to start it again. There were bits I found difficult. First listening to Revelation 👌
I’ve been on page 137 for the past two years! I found for some reason this book felt like jumping straight into the deep end for me and I had to stop. That said, the podcast with him was fantastic and I will continue the book one day when I feel more able to ingest and digest his wisdom.
I would love more book recommendations!! I'm always so interested in these.
This book has been sitting on my bookshelf, unread, for many years. Oprah told me to read it too (haha, heard about it on one of her lists) but I guess I was in a rebellious mood and refused to obey! Thanks for reminding me about it, Russell, I'll dig in now. :-)
Yes. TUS is a fantastic book I’ve reread a few times. I’d be very interested in your reads. I love suggestions and, as someone embarking on the 12 steps in my own life, I could benefit from some literature to shift my thinking.
Thank you for the talk.
Talking on children books sounds very intriguing.
Life is too fleeting , just enjoy the ride. Thanks Russell.
That's a lovely room you recorded this in. Thank you for all the free stuff - I have gotten a lot of impactful information from these podcasts. I am currently (finally!) reading "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramhansa Yogananda (I didn't know until recently that it is like the most important book in the world), so now I want to learn Sanskrit and read the Bhagavad Gita.
I LOVED Autobiography of a Yogi! It took me years to get around to it, too, but it was so worth the wait and so worth the length. He was the 'real deal' for sure!
Just purchased it from Amazon. You recommend it...I'll read it. Aside from a couple of cult leaders you have posted on occassion, you have not steered me wrong yet...but then, you have turned me into a more critical thinker. Thank you.
Came upon it by accident (not Oprah, LOL); have since listened to it many times over. One of the most impactful books I've read. Have to be in a place to receive it, though! Not for everyone at every moment...
Dear Russell Brand, You're the air for us and the biggest inspiration for many nations. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
💚❤ I'm on round 2 of the book.
It is the gift I've been waiting for my whole life. ❤💚
I also loved that book. (Thank God for the kindle). Being an addict myself i am always searching for some kind of meaning i life. Im grateful for yr vids which are inspiring. This evening i turned off “the first 48” to watch this video. Thank u ⚛️
Hey Russel! ... I don’t want to name-drop, but Hey Russel! ... One of my favourite books as well. Thank you for sharing x
This book changed my life! 🙏🏻💗
Horse splaying ears pissed about being set out to run in the sand...but Russel sees "a unicorn dashing about." Ever endearing. 💖
This is one of the most impactful books I’ve read or listened to. Inspired.
I loved that book and his other book The Surrender Experiment! ❤️
Thank you Russell. . Exactly when I needed it.
Just finished the audio of this book today and loved it -
AMAZING book. Read it recently and it seemed to explain a lot of my own spiritual awakening last year.
I thoroughly enjoyed that book’s depth and heavy lightness , if ya catch me 😍🤩 So excited that you decided to chat on it and it’s impact on you Russell; keep on groovin ✨✨✨💖
Wow, thanks. I'm going to get my hands on a copy and study it.
I have read the unteathered soul twice now. Every time I read it I learn something new.
This is a must read for every human on this planet. I took the info in easier by listening to the audio book version.
Read it several times!! And live very close to Mickey singer. Was also one of my first very impactful spiritual books.
Untethered Soul is one of THE best books ever to help people wake up to the truth of who we are.
Really good message, and so fit now… yes.. give myself a opportunity… find a way 😊
I loved this book, one of the first I read when I started my sobriety journey. It's funny that the majority of books I read in sobriety are all in this vein, as if before I thought my spirit was found in a bottle or the like. Hmm. I do recommend this book as well, a glimpse into what is definitely an eternity if you awaken from the dream.
I look forward to reading this. Thanks for sharing 💖
Russell, you are a constant inspiration - we have really enjoyed sharing your journey in a small way - our latest " Audible original " is Revelation a credit well used - Thank you we are enjoying it already -we really enjoyed the untethered Soul ( also bought after recommended by Oprah ) all power to you.
You are seriôusly expanding. Well done! xxxSusan 🙏🏻 Paris ☮️🙏🏻
Sounds like a fascinating book. I'll add that to my list of must reads
Do the "Search for meaning" book - it IS lifechanging!!!!
Thanks Russell for the suggestion! Just got the book! :)
Keep recommending books !!!!!! Please Russell
Bhagavad Gita has been mine. Trying to read the Bible to. I also have read a lot of the Pali cannon or the ones translated anyhow. But honestly you have been a huge impact in my life and help me to stay sober and keep away from drugs and strive to better myself spiritually.
Bhagatvat gita with interpretation of swami chinmayanda is the best.
Loved this book! I love knowing the books that impact a person. Keep on sharing. 😎
LOVED this book! Remember when it came out...everyone read the thing (except me). Fast forward many many years to 2014 & a diagnosis do cancer. Went spiritual & read this, too. When he talked about the one who was thinking the thoughts 💭 I was caught. Yes ❗️ I’m the one watching my life , not the one living it. It spirals up from there...today I’m free from incurable cancer with no chemo or radiation. Oh, yes. But I had willingness to do, to become and make myself accepting of what is....(breast cancer, bone cancer, spine, sacrum, hips & sternum). 5+ yrs free of that...& I don’t even feel like the same person anymore . This , for me, was one of the life changers.
Now much of this because I was at a point of readiness, and I was cracked open to fill those cracks with something (God abhors a void). It’s was timing...Caroline Myss before cancer ? Ugh. After cancer? Loved her .
Oh, Carolyn Myss, eh? Tough love or what? I loved your story, thanks for sharing.

Great post 🙏🏼 This book blew me away. Thanks dude
Russell you should have mini concert. Spread the world
I really enjoyed reading Michael Singer’s books..... my favourite being The Surrender Experiment. The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran has always been a classic and a favourite book of mine. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on that Russell.
Currently reading the book by Jacqueline Hopper called Becoming. Enjoying it greatly!
