This book is about a way of return to one’s own true life.
In any society, ancient or modern, which has made busyness a virtue, lost itself in pursuing the accumulation of power, knowledge, and material goods, and finds its only way forward to be into increasing complexity and a one-sided quest for incessant growth, people find their lives displaced, and long for a return to authenticity, freedom, and simplicity. Returning to one’s true life is returning to pure being-ness. This book will introduce anyone newly exposed to Lao Tzu to a wisdom that we already know on at our deepest level, but seem to have forgotten on the turbulent and distracted level of everyday living.

Without stepping out the door, you can know the whole cosmos.
Without looking out the window, you can see Heaven’s course.
The further one strays, the less one knows.
—Tao Te Ching 47
