The Power of the Dao cover

What if you could live your life in flow? Being in flow is when you are “in the zone”, “on your game”, or even “on fire”. This is both a mental state and a physical one. You have a feeling of complete focus, full involvement and deep enjoyment in whatever you are doing. You feel the activity takes no energy from you – indeed you feel that it is giving you energy. You barely notice the passage of time. You feel calm but almost ecstatic.

 

Most of us have glimpsed being in this state. But what if you could be in your zone not just for a moment of flow, nor merely for a day, but always and forever? This book shows you how to achieve that state, based on the enduring (ancient Chinese) wisdom of Daoist principles and practice. Millions of people have lived a better, happier and more productive life by following all or some of these Daoist principles. The book provides the seven core principles of Daoism to help you live your live in productive yet relaxed flow for extended periods – or all the time
