In this exceptionally erudite and illuminating book, Dr Lim Meng Sing skilfully presents the essence of Lao Tze’s immortal classic: Tao Te-Ching (Classic of The Way and of Virtue) by way of 300 memorable reflections. These reflections interpret the ageless wisdom of Taoism in clear simple language that is accessible to all. Lao Tze’s Tao Te-Ching was written in classical Chinese (600 BCE) that even eminent scholars struggle to translate. Having it presented with simplicity and clarity is a gift to be savoured by anyone interested in living with integrity and purpose.

This book explores living in a harmonious way with others and self. Leadership is all about people and ethics and in a world often lead by fear and greed, ethical leaders can be difficult to find. We are all leaders in some form or another. Whether in business, sport or at home, the decisions we make influence and impact on others. To act ethically, in the gentle way of Tao, is to act for the good of all. To quote the Chinese classic, the Tao te-Ching: 'Ultimate goodness, like water, benefits all things and harms nothing ... It has depth at its heart; it shows beneficence in dealing with others; it is sincere in speech; it keeps order in governing; it thrives in ability and acts in timeliness.' An inspiring and insightful book to change the way you behave.
