Power of Tao (9780786756087)



For over 2,500 years, Lao Tzu's philosophy of Tao has helped hundreds of millions of people to attain and sustain equanimity and happiness. In The Power of Tao, Lou Marinoff shows how Tao, or "the Way," can serve as a potent remedy to the stress, anxiety, and daily challenges of living in our wildly unpredictable and constantly changing world. Tao is especially useful in our era of economic meltdown, environmental degradation, swelling urbanization, cultural conflict, and political uncertainty. The Power of Tao illuminates the central teachings of Lao Tzu, applying them to everyday matters facing us all in the areas of health and well-being, love and marriage, creativity and career, personal achievement and purpose. Every chapter is replete with illustrative case studies, revealing how emperors, artists, athletes, and ordinary citizens alike have accessed the power of Tao. Taoist wisdom can restore balance in precarious human relationships, promote calm when coping with illness and mortality, and empower us to be better citizens and wiser leaders. Harmonizing nature and nurture, Tao teaches us to attain our true potential, and avoid envy, greed, and anger. Beyond transforming individual lives, Tao holds out the promise of a new golden age of prosperity, peace, and cultural advancement. Americans among other Westerners have sustained growing mainstream fascination with Tao (and its sister philosophy, Buddhism) for several decades, embracing the Way not only for its inherent beauty and power, but also as a spiritual remedy for culturally-induced epidemics that are sweeping Western and Westernized cultures. Increasingly today, Westerners are turning to holistic practices that originated in China as outgrowths of Taoism: qigong, tai chi, meditation, feng shui, acupuncture, and herbal medicine, among others. The Power of Tao is a quintessential guide to personal happiness, social harmony, economic prosperity, and political balance. A timely and timeless resource, this book is written for novices as well as aficionados of Chinese philosophy and its many allied arts.
