The Unlocked Soul Jonathan Berman

It has been said that the most profound truths can be stated simply. One such simple truth is that our lives are primarily formed by holding onto beliefs and experiences. For many people, this holding on does not lead to the life they desire. This novel is about a man's discovery of a universal truth that freed him, how it changed his life and how it affects us all.

About the Story

Michael's life had not gone as planned. It was a constant struggle of grief, tension, and the belief he was leading a dead-end life. He felt stuck until he met a person who sparked a discovery that changed him forever. It turned his life around, and he realized that what he had learned for himself could be taught to others. At first, helping a few at a time and then it grew. People were able to use his discovery to make dramatic changes in their lives.

While undergoing his own transformation, he falls in love with Natalie, the daughter of a US senator. Michael and the senator disagree on what our country and the people need. In a break with her father's ideology, Natalie convinces Michael that of the two ways to reach people en masse: religion and politics, he had only one choice if he wished to be taken seriously. She convinces him to run against her father in the upcoming election.

This story illustrates how Michael's discovery gives us the key that unlocks the power of our soul to change our lives and the world.
