Life is short, so make the best of
it now! To live the best of your life, you must know who you are and what life
is all about. Most importantly, you must have the wisdom to live your life to
the fullest.
Living your life is a learning process.
Real learning, however, is not just the acquisition of knowledge. True wisdom
is the ability to penetrate deeply into the meaning behind superficial
knowledge, to integrate related thoughts, facts, and experiences into a
structural framework that reveals a deeper, more synthesized meaning than what
an ordinary person perceives. Wisdom is internal; it comes from the inner self.
Focusing on so-called goals in
life, many of us lose our true selves in the pursuit of our dreams. If you are
one of them, you must re-direct your life. If you wish to re-discover your
"new" self, or never want to go back to your "old" life,
THE BOOK OF LIFE AND LIVING is right for you.
Now is as good a time as any to
live your life on your own terms, instead of someone else's terms. Now is the
time not just to think out of the box, but to create your own box. THE BOOK OF
LIFE AND LIVING was written just for that specific purpose to inspire you with
the wisdom in living, based on conventional wisdom, ancient wisdom, and spiritual
wisdom.
Albert Einstein once said: "A
human being is part of the whole called by us 'universe,' a part limited in
time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts, and feelings as
something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness.
This delusion is kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires
and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free
ourselves from the prison . . . . "
One of the objectives of THE BOOK
OF LIFE AND LIVING is to free yourself from the self-imprisonment of
self-delusions created by your self-consciousness, as pointed out by Albert
Einstein. This book not only explains in simple terms and plain language how
you may unconsciously create your self-limiting thoughts that prevent you from
truly understanding who you are and what you really want from life, but also
shows you how to create a substantially new manner of thinking through the
integration of both conventional and ancient wisdom.
In particular, this book is about
the art of living well through understanding and embracing the wisdom of
Tao—the wisdom of Lao Tzu succinctly expressed in TAO TE CHING, one of the most
translated works in world literature. However, Tao wisdom is simple but
difficult to understand. THE BOOK OF LIFE AND LIVING explains in simple
language with common everyday examples to illustrate the essence of Tao wisdom
and how it may integrate with conventional wisdom to live a life of your choice.
