When you stop trying to control everything, something bigger takes over. @Erik Anders Lang shares how letting go opened the door to deeper alignment—and why The Surrender Experiment and The Untethered Soul have been guideposts on that path.

The universe has a tremendous amount of intelligence. The idea that I would know what's best is absurd. And there's a great book that you should definitely read, Corey, called The Surrender Experiment, if you haven't read it already. So the same guy who wrote The Untethered Soul wrote The Surrender Experiment, which is essentially his story of completely letting go of the outcome of things and doing the things that the universe suggests. The universe is magical. The universe has a tremendous amount of intelligence. And so the idea that I would know what's best is absurd, given the consciousness of eight billion people and a planet and who knows what else. Basically, what I want to do isn't necessarily the right thing. So I'm going to do what the universe tells me to do, and I'll know it because it'll just tell me. And I'm going to do that. I'm going to do it to the best of my ability, and I'm going to surrender.
