The Power of Dao: A Timeless Guide to Happiness and Harmony by Lou Marinoff
5.0
In this outstanding, user-friendly guide for Westerners, Daoism teaches us, utilizing gentleness, compassion and humour, that we can live a life of serenity, providing the ego remains in check. 'The Power of Dao" A Timeless Gude to Happiness and Harmony by Lou Marinoff, differs greatly from any self-help guides you may have picked up previously.
Readers are apprised of how Daoism/Taoism can be applied to numerous aspects of one's life, taking us by the hand and explaining how suffering can be circumvented. The book contains many quotes that resonated with me but one in particular that stood out was: "Although we humans have the power to procreate life, we do not have the power to create it. Lao Tzu says: that we should not arrogate to ourselves, the authority to destroy life either."
This wonderful book provides a powerhouse of knowledge in an easy-to-read, condensed format that will both inspire and motivate you to realign your life towards a more harmonious and gentler, anxiety-free existence.
Lou Marinoff explores the philosophy behind Daoism/Taoism and does an exemplary job, using age-old wisdom to guide us as we manouvre our way through lifes pitfalls.
A highly recommended read for those of us seeking a more harmonious and joyful existence and for all lovers of philosophy.and ancient wisdom.
