Wisdom of the Tao


Add your own review!

Overview

The way of the Tao is one of peace – of serenity, meditation and inner contentment. For centuries the followers of the Tao have drawn strength from its great wisdom, its faith in the laws of the universe, and its rare gift of turning the negative into the positive. Although the origins of Taoism lie long ago in the mists of time, its philosophy of contemplative calm is more relevant, in today’s busy world, than ever before. Bringing the wisdom of the great Taoist thinkers into the twenty-first century, this exquisite little volume contains some of their most profound words, offering insight and advice on a wide variety of different areas.
