Summary of this Book...
Tao Te Chaing translates to "Living and applying the Great Way." The Tao is 81 verses - within the verses are references to water, thoughts, air, and nature. Lao'tzu suggests changing your thoughts if you wish to change your life. All physical matter begins as a thought. Therefore - all creation begins with thought. Change that and your life changes. Wayne studied all 81 verses over the course of a year - living and meditating on each one. This book is the verses themselves with beautiful artwork on each side of the pages. The original book that Wayne wrote on the Tao is called "Change your thoughts - Change your life." This is also available on Amazon. As Lao'tzu states, "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."
This type of Book is good for...
Those who are struggling to maintain or want to, for the first time, see themselves as part of nature. To become one with everything and everyone around you. To think softly and have a richer life because of it.
I especially liked...
The cover design and the subtle art work within the book. It complemented the wisdom that resides on the pages.
I didn't like...
Not applicable.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
Shake hands with Lao'tzu and Wayne Dyer. I admire these two men to a great extent. It's obviously too late to shake hands with Lao'tzu but - in dreamland, even physical limitations are put to rest.
This Book made me feel...
It's a summary of the 'Change your thoughts, Change your life' book on living the wisdom of the Tao. Contentment, peaceful, and grateful.
The author of this Book...
Wayne Dyer is a personal hero of mine. His teachings have remained a significant part of my life for about 8 years now.
I recommend this Book because...
It's a journey into the mind of Lao'tzu and his words are discussed by Dr. Wayne Dyer. It's that simple.
I don't recommend this Book because...
Not applicable
Further Comments...
After reading 'Change your thoughts, Change your life' and then discovering this summarization with the affirmations - I had to buy it. It's worth the purchase even if it just sits on the shelf. Beautiful design and a comfortable feel to the cover. Wayne spent a lot of time on this project and the work he produced is proof of that. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is connected to the Tao, a fan of Wayne's work, or just wants to add a handsome book to their collection.
