Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer’s classic bestseller translates the ancient wisdom of the Tao Te Ching into a guide for modern life, with simple yet life-changing daily practices to transform your mindset.
The 81 verses of the Tao Te Ching are regarded by many as the ultimate commentary on the nature of our existence, more than 25 centuries after they were written. Change Your Thoughts—Change Your Life brings this timeless wisdom to life in accessible and practical guidance that readers return to again and again.
After one year of research and meditation on Lao-tzu’s messages, Wayne Dyer wrote these 81 essays, a reflection for each verse, translating this mystical philosophy for our modern problems. Each ends with “Do the Tao Now,” powerful tips you can easily use in daily life to live the Tao.
Classic essays include:
• Living by Letting Go: Release stress and anxiety, trust the process
• Living without Striving: Break the cycle of pressure and burnout by shifting to the present moment
• Living Beyond Judgment: Let go of criticism—of yourself and others—and embrace acceptance
• Living Self-Mastery: Understand and gain control of your emotions
• Living with Constancy: The knowledge that all things shall pass
This a work to be read slowly, one essay a day, and as a daily companion in difficult times. As Wayne said, “This is a book that will forever change the way you look at your life, and the result will be that you’ll live in a new world aligned with nature. Writing this book changed me forever, too. I now live in accord with the natural world and feel the greatest sense of peace I’ve ever experienced.”

This was a great read. It's so simple to do (to be aware of your thoughts) but hard to maintain a high focus level at times. This book assists in discussing that.
Wayne Dyer has great insights into explaining the readings of the Tao with helpful tips on applying it into today. This is definitely a "read one passage a day" type of book. It helped me when I faced a hard time in my own life and I give it as a gift when someone else is struggling too. A great addition to any collection of nonfiction.
