Chapter 15 of The Untethered Soul is titled, the path of unconditional happiness. I think a better word for happiness is "at peace".  I know that I will never reach a point in my life that I could be happy if my child got a life threatening disease, although I could be at peace with it after some serious crying and whatever I found necessary to achieve acceptance.  This chapter is what most people are looking for. The title says all. Your peace comes from the conditions that you require to be at peace. Until you agree with yourself you're going to be at peace no matter what happens, you'll never find this. Lasting peace can only be found through Complete acceptance of yourself, others, life, and the world , while maintaining an open heart.

Chapter 14 of The Untethered Soul is titled, letting go of false solidity. In an effort to create the illusion of stable environment we create a false mental model of the world that suits our preferences and then we cling to it. We cling to what want and we cling to what we don't want as well. Obviously this creates suffering by constantly trying to control our lives that are constantly changing. Singer explains several different  familiar conditions of life that cause suffering and the solution is Always the same. Be the one that is aware of the familiar conditions and the suffering.

Chapter 13 of The Untethered Soul is titled, far far beyond. Our realities are created by our thoughts and emotions. Our thoughts and emotions, which we call good or bad, create the boundaries of our reality. We create these boundaries in an attempt to avoid fear, remain comfortable, and to give ourselves the illusion of controlling the ever changing conditions of life.   If we want to keep expanding and growing we must constantly go beyond the mental and emotional limits that we set for ourselves. When we practice going beyond our limits we become comfortable with what was once considered uncomfortable. When you clearly see your mental and emotional comfort boundaries you have a clear opportunity for growth.

Chapter 12 of The Untethered Soul is titled, taking down the walls. In this chapter Singer explains how our psyche, thoughts and emotions, is similar to a house that we have built to protect ourselves from pain. Since most of our thoughts and emotions are fear based, the mental and emotional structures we build don't protect us, they only trap the pain inside of us. If we want to transend pain we must accept and feel it as it happens and and when it comes up from past traumas, by doing this it passes through us and doesn't get trapped inside.

Chapter 11 of The Untethered Soul is titled, pain the price of freedom. This chapter of the book explains the solution for ending suffering. If you want to eliminate suffering you have to completely accept it. Pain will still come and go , but through acceptance you eliminate suffering.

Chapter 10 of The Untethered Soul is titled, stealing freedom for your soul. One of the main things that causes suffering in our lives is our thoughts. We want everything in our lives to conform to our preferences and expectations. In order to achieve this we have given our mind the 24/7 job of solving this riddle. We told our mind, we want all of our dreams to come true, we want everyone to like us, we want to win Americas got talent or any other fairy tale you can imagine. Our minds took the job and that's one of the reasons for our constant thinking, inner dialogues, stress, and suffering. The cure for this sickness is Awareness. In order to fix the problem of the suffering caused by the wandering mind, we dont have to control the mind, we just have constantly observe it and not get pulled into believing the stories that we tell ourselves. The subject is awareness(as always), and the objects are the stories in our thoughts.
