The Tao Te Ching of Manhood: 81 steps toward meaning, honor, and mastery (The 81 Steps Series Book 4)

From the author of The Tao Te Ching of Parenting comes a text on the core of manhood, and what it means to approach each day with the meaning, honor, and mastery contained in every man.

Does your life satisfy you? Does your relationship with yourself bring you a deep, enduring satisfaction, even when your relationship with the world, in the moment, does not? Or do you simply find yourself wondering if there is anything to be learned from the past in how we approach our relationships with our lovers, our friendships, and ourselves in today's world?

Philosopher, author, and friend Win Wu-Wei invites you to look at manhood not as an unending battle of aggression, domination, and career obsession, but an endless opportunity to practice patience, closeness, and kindness, not just with those around us, but with ourselves.

With a modern, gentle interpretation of Lao Tzu's classic text on life and how to live it, Wei unwraps the Tao Te Ching and applies it to the intricate, immersing, and immensely satisfying experience that is manhood, with words of wisdom that will appeal to every man seeking guidance from the ancients for how to be the kind of man honored by men and women alike.
