Wisdom for Living a Balanced Life

Resumen del Editor

Taoist living rests on four pillars: the public, the domestic, the private, and the spirit lives. Not only do Taoists strive to live these four aspects fully and in a balanced way, they also believe there is an outlook and an art to each of them. Eva Wong uses the teachings of Taoist masters themselves to explain the essential concepts. She then gives voice to these texts - simplifying them, removing barriers to understanding, and making them completely accessible and relevant to the modern reader. Wong is a clear and enthusiastic guide to this intriguing spiritual way, and she challenges us to stop, reflect, and ask ourselves: Do we balance the public, domestic, private, and spirit aspects of our lives, or do we emphasize some at the expense of the others? How can we think about unifying worldly and spiritual wisdom in day-to-day living?

worth it! I'm new to studying taoism and this book is everything I needed. thank you

A guide for life

Living "The Way" or in harmony with the way, is just fancy talk for, here's how you learn to use the ways things are to make them the way they should be.
And it starts with you. These are fantastic teachings to revisit for years.

Simple clear and very profound

What an inspirational book. I feel uplifted and totally inspired to continue to develop my spirit and improve my physical health every time I listen to this jewel. Thanks for having this wonderful gift for your listeners

And the reading does justice and if it would be possible enhancement to the text. A perfect marriage of text and voice. It is a book to listen many many times.

Understand Balance!

I have been looking for something like this for a while. learn about how you and yang effect everything. Learn how a sage conducts themeslves. This was a great book.

Meditation

This book provides me so much peace and stillness, thank you to Eva Wong and co. for providing my Taoism path.
I’m unsure that all of the names were pronounced correctly and did take some issue with a mild dialect that was put on when voicing some characters, but I have chosen to prize the teachings ☀️

What an spiritual uplifting book

This is one of the greatest books on morality, ethics, and virtue ever written in my opinion. Its Ramadan and I wanted to elevate myself in the way of the creator and this book has definitely helped. Thank you to the author and translator for this wonderful work. I plan to buy the book.

Wong does it again

I like the insights and translation Eva puts into all of her writings. My wife and I sit together and listen as if it was music.

Nicely Balanced

This book provides a pleasant middle way between abstract discussions about the Tao and a straight reading of the original texts. At first, I felt the narrator was moving a bit too fast for my taste... but as the book progressed, I felt her delivery was excellent, as it provided a nice stream-of-consciousness voice in the back of my head. The key to absorbing Tao is not to overthink each word, but to let it seep in by exposure, like the ground absorbing a puddle after the rain.

Make you wanna dive headfirst into the way

Very excellent and inspiring you to continue on your Taoist path or begin your journey with the Way, can't help but smile.

Insightful

Insightful book filled with knowledge that will help you on your path in life. Whatever that path may be.
