Everybody wants to be happy because happiness is the essence
of life and living. What is the point of living in this world if we are unhappy
most of the time? Indeed, many people are depressed and unhappy. Sadly, to
many, the quest for happiness is forever unreachable—just like a
carrot-and-stick in front of a mule; the more pain it experiences, the more
desire it shows to reach out for the forever unattainable carrot in front. In
many ways, we are like the mule.
Why is happiness so difficult to attain?
Without human wisdom, the pursuit of happiness is like
wandering in the wilderness without a compass and a roadmap. So, human wisdom
is the key to unlocking true human happiness.
First and foremost, you need to be wise so as to be good in
order to be happy.
What is wisdom? Wisdom has to do with the thinking mind.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
once
said: “The ancestor to every action in the physical world is a thought.” In
other words, wisdom comes from the mind: how you think, and how you perceive
and react to your thought. Wisdom is different from knowledge in that a
knowledgeable person may not necessarily be wise, and by the same token a wise
person does not have to be knowledgeable. Wisdom has much to do with the
interpretation and application of what an individual knows to his or her
everyday life and living.
If you are wise, you will know how to be good, and goodness
leads to genuine happiness. It’s just that simple.
To find out how to be wise in order to be good and happy,
and live your life as if everything is a miracle, read my book: Be A Better and Happier You With Tao Wisdom.
Be
A Better And Happier You With Tao Wisdom
This book shows you how to attain true
human wisdom through asking self-intuitive questions, creating an empty mindset
with reverse thinking to let go of the ego-self to become a better and happier
you.
The wisdom of Tao begins with the power of
intent in the mind to know and to learn more about the true “self”—after all,
wisdom is about self, and about how it reacts with everyone and everything
around. In the quest of wisdom, the revelation of having no ego-self is the
turning point, where you may begin to embark on a different life journey with a
different mission. Your “conditioned” mind thus begins the journey of “reverse
thinking” which will ultimately change your life, making you a better and
happier you.
Tao wisdom enables you to see the wisdom in
the oneness of all life—that everything exists because of its “opposite” and
that everything will ultimately become its opposite, just as youth becoming old
age, and life becoming death. Spontaneity, which is following the natural laws
of nature, holds the key to attaining true human wisdom to live your life as if
everything is a miracle.
Part One of my book explains the
prerequisites of human wisdom. Without true human wisdom, it is almost impossible
to perceive the innate human goodness in self, as well as in others. Human
goodness leads to the attributes of genuine human happiness.
Part Two is the complete translation of the
81 short chapters of Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" in simple English for
readers to understand the complex and controversial wisdom of “Tao Te Ching.”
Part Three highlights the essentials of Tao
wisdom, and shows how it can be applied to contemporary living so that you may
live as if everything is a miracle to be a better and happier you.
To be a better and happier you is both easy
and difficult: Tao wisdom is easy to understand with an empty mind, but
difficult to assimilate its depth and profoundness
