Klappentext

""The Daily Tao" is an invitation to choose peace over distraction, flexibility over fear, and wisdom over turmoil. The Tao Te Ching was written in 400 BCE by the Chinese sage Laozi and has since become one of the most often translated works of literature, guiding readers across the generations. A potent source of wisdom that speaks to spiritual seekers across faith traditions and secular lines, the Tao is built on pillars of acceptance, mindfulness, and tranquility. Inside "The Daily Tao," you'll find a reading from the Tao Te Ching for every day of the year, along with a reflection to lead you to deeper understanding, and an intention to carry with you into the day. Whether you begin your morning with the Tao, snatch a spare moment of calm in the hurry of the day, or open the book as the evening closes, "The Daily Tao" will help you create a practice of reflection that will echo through your life. The word Tao literally translates to "the way" and "The Daily Tao" is the perfect companion on that journey, step by step and day by day. Drawing on insights first shared in his beloved book "A Path and a Practice," author William Martin's original translation of the Tao maintains the lyrical poeticism of the text while making its wisdom accessible for all. "The Daily Tao" is part of The Day by Day series, a collection of 365 books designed to help readers infuse the rhythms of their lives with meaning and intention. Our lives are built by small choices, tiny moments, and quiet thoughts-the Day by Day series is a gentle way to choose those moments and begin to build a life you love"--
