A luxury, keep-sake edition of an ancient Chinese scripture

This ancient text, fundamental to Taoism, has become a source of inspiration and guidance for millions in modern society. Its focus on attunement, rather than mindless striving, offers an alternative to command-and-control leadership and a different way of seeing personal success – a position that has led to this ancient Chinese text becoming an internationally bestselling personal development guide.

Now the text has been given a makeover, and this deluxe, gift edition is set to become the market leader, following in the footsteps of the other bestselling Capstone Classic editions.

Includes:

  • Paints a picture of a person in full attunement
  • Illustrates how fulfilment and peace, without struggle, can deliver to us what we need and desire
  • An alternative way to view personal success
  • A new introduction by Tom Butler Bowdon, the classic personal development expert
