Taoism is an ancient Chinese philosophy that emphasises living in harmony with universe. THE WISDOM OF TAO is filled with Taoist stories that are thousands of years old and express great wisdom by fusing anecdote with philosophy. While frequently humorous, ribald, irreverent, pithy or sarcastic, the stories always speak to great and universal truths. They lead people to flow with life, live from the heart, develop openness to possibilities, live in balance, drop expectations and embrace acceptance. This collection fills a universal need for stories that will help us make sense of who we are and how we got here and keep us sane as we try to absorb our experiences, our aging and our emotions. Stories help us visualise the future by taking the messages of yesterday and helping us get tomorrow right.
