Story
The lessons taught by ancient Chinese philosophers surprisingly still apply, and they challenge our fundamental assumptions about how to lead a fulfilled, happy, and successful life. Self-discovery, it turns out, comes through looking outward, not inward. Power comes from holding back. Good relationships come from small gestures. Spontaneity comes from practice. And excellence comes from what you choose to do, not your "natural" abilities.

A must read for those seeking introspection

"The Path" offered me a refreshed perspective on how Chinese philosophy has shaped my upbringing as a Chinese American raised in a tradition Chinese family. LaoZhi's teaching on the Way of the Tao as it was succinctly described by Michael and Christine and how it complements many of the 18th and 19th century Western contemporary philosophical revival and inevitably pushed humanity toward modernity was mind blowing. Would highly recommend anyone who is open to take another look at how a seemingly simply philosophical idea can change your perspective on looking at the world and yourself.
