The Power of Dao: A Timeless Guide to Happiness and Harmony by Lou Marinoff

4.0

I picked this book up because I was admittedly curious - chances are if you’re reading this, you’ve at least heard about Lao Tzu, and his philosophy. I wouldn’t say this is a beginners guide to it - although it does discuss the philosophy, and it’s history a bit, as well as comparing it to other philosophies. That said, I think reading Lao Tzu first and then diving into this book as a follow-up would be a good approach. Although this toes the line between self-help and philosophy book, I would say that parts of this lean more one way or the other. Overall, I enjoyed reading this, and getting to explore Marinoff’s take on Dao, and how he recommends applying it to life. Great for philosophy lovers!
