The Tao of Inner Peace - Softcover

This is a highly practical guide to harmonious living, which draws on the versees of the 'Tao Te Ching'.

One of the most loved books in the world, the 'Tao Te Ching' has for thousands of years been treasured for its timeless wisdom. However, its enigmatic style can make it difficult for Western minds. 'The Tao of Inner Peace' casts new light on the elusive truths contained in this ancient book, and offers an inspiring vision of how age-old Taoist wisdom can be applied to ourselves and the world around us.

The Taoist principles of dynamic balance, cyclical growth, harmonious action and the essential unity of all things are explained and illustrated with modern parallels and examples, many drawn from the author’s experience. Reinforced with exercises and affirmations, the profound philosphy of the 'Tao Te Ching' is opened up to modern readers.
