Michael Alan “Mickey” Singer is the author of New York Times bestsellers, The Untethered Soul and The Surrender Experiment; revered spiritual, meditative guides on the knots and binds of the human condition and how they can be gracefully untied.

When studying at the University of Florida in 1971, Singer reportedly had a spiritual awakening. He then went into seclusion to focus on meditation and yoga. This was the catalyst of his first two books, which focused on the integration of Eastern and Western philosophy: The Search for Truth and Three Essays on Universal Law: Karma, Will and Love.

Singer is the founder of the Temple of the Universe, a yoga and meditation centre in Alachua, Florida. The Temple is open to all men and women regardless of religion.

He has made major contributions in business, the arts, education, healthcare, and environmental protection.
