In The Untethered Soul, the premise of the piece is that happiness is within our control. But is it really? Do we have the power to obtain unconditional and everlasting happiness for the rest of our lives? Quoted from the text, Michael writes, "'Well, of course I want to be happy, but my wife left me.' In other words, they want to be happy, but not if their wife leaves them." This text creates the illusion that true happiness is within our reach, we just have to be willing to grab at it no matter what obstacles we face. Spiritual happiness is within our reach, but we will never get to our destination if we think of every hitch in our journey is a problem.
