Das Tao der Fülle. Vom Reichtum, der uns glücklich macht

by Laurence G. Boldt

Laurence G. Boldt lädt dazu ein, sich wieder mehr wesentlichen Werten und Quellen zu öffnen, aus denen jede Art von Fülle hervorgeht.
Materielle Fülle ist hier jedoch nicht das Hauptziel.
Sie ist nur das natürliche Nebenprodukt einer tieferen seelischen Fülle, die wir innerlich spüren, und die sich in allen Bereichen unseres äußeren Lebens widerspiegelt.
Der Autor versteht es in beeindruckender Weise, die tiefgründigen Einsichten alter taoistischer Meister auf die Erfordernisse der heutigen Zeit anzuwenden.
Er konfrontiert uns mit der Tatsache, dass immer mehr Menschen den Kontakt zur Natur, zu ihren spirituellen Wurzeln und daher zu ihrer Würde und ihrem sozialen Umfeld verlieren.

Positive views on money, success and abundance are a great help if you're struggling with how to reconcile the compromise to live within the societal structure. And how perhaps, to not make it a compromise at all.

[Rachel · Rating 4 out of 5]

I can definitely apply a lot of the principles of this book into my life. Lots of practical wisdom for simplifying and rejecting societal norms. It was a bit arduous - it took me FOREVER to read, but mostly because I stopped to think about each passage as I read. Highly recommended to anyone seeking to understand Tao principles related to living a truly abundant life.

A book about everything. One of the simplest books with all the life lessons one could need.
A must read for those who are introspective, invested in growth, both personal and material and are thirsty for self knowledge.

The book seems daunting and copious even unwieldy because of its size, but as you read, the pages just roll off so smoothly and simply, dripping with answers and solutions for all of life's questions, that one never thought of.

excellent book.

[Apryl2010 · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good book. Not what I expected. The only reason I gave it only 4 stars is because it seemed a bit drudgerous at times. Otherwise, I would have given it a solid 5 stars.

[ASusana · Rating 4 out of 5]

Este es un libro muy práctico para quienes están interesados en el TAO. Te lleva de la mano para entender los conceptos de esta filosofía oriental y es una excelente forma de comenzar con este tema, después de las claras explicaciones del autor es mucho más sencillo adentrarse a otras lecturas más complicadas como el Tao teh king o Tao te ching; sin embargo, tiene una gran falta, no entra en las meditaciones características del Tao y prefiere una forma más parecida a la autoayuda, por lo que no puedo darle una calificación más alta que un ocho. Aun así, si te interesa el tema, es un libro muy claro y perfecto para comenzar a comprender el taoismo.
Por desgracia no hay una versión en español.

This book addresses the ways in which the values of contemporary Western society promote the mentality of scarcity and block people's ability to receive the natural abundance of living as espoused by the philosophies of Taoism.

While the author offers many practical ways, with which to shift one's perspective toward abundance, he spends so much time explaining the problems with culture that have made this necessary, that the book becomes largely a downer.

[Kony · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book certainly presents an abundance... of academic text. Devotes lots of ink to expositing and bemoaning the anthropological origins of capitalism. I was hoping for a book whose tone more closely mirrored the holistic, practice-oriented mindset of the tao, rather than the analytical, abstract-theoretical approach of the Western philosophies that the author disfavors.

Just started this one so I don't have a good opinion just yet but it is interesting and in many ways applicable to today

Persuasive at the time, but too mystical for my taste now
