Looking for answers to today’s wrenching challenges, William Martin turns to the Tao Te Ching and finds that while Taoism is known for its quiet, enigmatic wisdom, the Tao can also have the cleansing force of a rushing river.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough his interpretation of this ancient Chinese text, Martin elucidates revolutionary messages condemning power-seeking and greed. He emphasizes that humans have a “natural virtue” that can help them heal the planet; shows how Taoism’s simplicity can be subversive and its flexibility a potent force; and reassures that “when injustice is the rule, justice always lies in wait.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProvocative and stirring, Martin’s Tao flows within and through those who ride the waves of anger and frustration and gently guides them to true freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“We have learned the secret of transformation: Injustice feeds our determination. Hate increases our love. Wounds bring forth our healing, and fear uncovers our courage and serenity.”\u003cbr\u003e— \u003cb\u003efrom \u003ci\u003eThe Activist’s Tao Te Ching\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New World Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47031610114288,"sku":"9781608683925","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781608683925_p0.jpg?v=1763836052","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781608683925","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
