The Tao Made Easy

De: Alan Cohen

Narrado por: Alan Cohen

May you live during interesting times: so goes an ancient Chinese blessing"or some say curse. That wish has come true for us. Now what? In this radically illuminating book, Alan Cohen delves into one of the world's most venerated wisdom texts for answers and brings the lofty and enigmatic concepts of the Tao Te Ching down to earth in fresh, easy-to-grasp language with practical, personal examples we can use to uplift our daily lives.Most other interpretations of the Tao march through the stanzas one by one. Here Alan Cohen calls forth the ancient verses around themes that are central to our modern lives"from love to work to the lessons we learn from pain. Then he brings each message to life in short vignettes where he imagines himself a student of Lao Tse and interacts with the master directly and intimately. He invites you to join the ancient sage and the contemporary seeker as they wend their way through the challenges and triumphs of the same journey you're taking yourself.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“There could be no better pairing of timeless truths and modern sage than that of Lao Tse and Alan Cohen. With the warmth and wisdom befitting these masters, Alan Cohen’s The Tao Made Easy liberates both the ancient teachings of Lao Tse and the mind and spirit of his readers.”

“In native cultures wisdom is transmitted through stories. The stories told around the evening fire can heal, inspire, and motivate. They are the power that holds a tribe together. Alan Cohen, in his splendid book The Tao Made Easy, allows us to access the wisdom of the Tao through his stories. Each story gleams like a jewel on the far horizon. Highly recommended!”

The Tao Made Easy truly touches the Soul!”

Calming and Soothing for the Soul.

Honestly, I was used to other audiobook genres and authors so I was concerned with the pace at first... then I let go and relaxed in listening to the Narrator and Author.

Now, this is my third time listening to him because he feels like a kindly grandfather (not to say anything about age, just his kind, gentle, and wise demeanor are very comforting) telling us a story about himself, life, Lao-Tzu, and the Dao.

Here and there, when I want peace, I just listen to this again - thank you for writing and reading this, Alan Cohen.

I'm forever grateful.

loved it!

Alan Cohen does it again. Love his teachings and interpretations. A wonderful tool on your spiritual journey.

Alan Cohen’s Performance

Mr. Cohen’s ability to present the Tao and incorporate his knowledgeable interpretation while relating it to today’s current 21st Century lifestyle couldn’t have been presented better.

Loved this book!

Thanks for this book and I do plan on listening again! It did help a lot with the Tai and I loved the music!!

Captivating

I was wondering what could be better or even close to A Course in Miracles made easy and to my excitement this was right on par. I enjoyed every minute of this book and I wish Alan Cohen narrated my life and inner dialogue as I would probably pay more attention then.
