Zen and the Art of Happiness
Zen and the Art of Happiness

Review:It's positive but not realistic advice. Things need to be felt. Saying this is for my for my benefit and smiling through pain is not healing anything. At the end he says to start with small things, because if you apply his philosophy to big things it doesn't make sense. Growing from a situation or making the best out of a situation is one thing, but saying everything that happens is the best possible thing that could happen doesn't sit well with me. Somethings but not everything. Read more

Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching Adapted for a New Age - The Tao of Leadership

Review:Leadership is not something you are born with. Nor something you buy in the local deli. It is a life-long process of ever changing, growing, empowering others. And in the end - the best leaders are those, people around them will say "We did it ourselves." If you are ready to develop yourself into being such a leader - this is the right book for you.

The Complete Tao Te Ching and Affirmations - Living the Wisdom of the Tao

Review:Dyer's "version" of the Tao Te Ching is terrible. I call it a version because his translations do not match traditional translations, rather, his translations water down the real messages of the Tao. In fact, attempting to reword them goes againsgt the very teaching and value of the Tao. I am not sure what to make of the book, as it is not the Tao, yet also not a self help book. If one is looking to purchase the Tao Te Ching do not purchase this book because it is not even a loose translation. I... Read more
