A CLOSER LOOK

The story behind it.

The Journey Beyond Yourself. Singer's exploration of awareness and our relationship with thoughts and emotions.

The inner roommate

Singer uses the image of an inner roommate to make incessant mental commentary recognizable. The analogy moves an internal habit into a relationship that can be observed.

Awareness and reaction

The book repeatedly separates noticing an experience from automatically following the reaction it produces. That distinction gives its discussion of letting go a recurring form.
