This week we try something a little different. We went to about 500 B.C.E. with Lao Tsu’s Tao Te Ching which was adapted by John Heider and first published in 1985. There have been many translations of the ancient Chinese wisdom and Heider has probably the best adaptation on Leadership. Perhaps you’ll recognize some of the stories Yo reads or feel their familiarity in quotes we’ll often see today on FB, IG or Tik Tok.
Here’s a bit more about the author John Heider:
John Heider graduated from Harvard College in 1960, and was awarded a Ph. D. in Clinical Psychology from Duke University in 1968. He returned to Lawrence, Kansas in 1971-1973, then again in 1987. John is a seminal figure in the Human Potential Movement. He worked at Esalen Institute, founded the Human Potential School of Mendocino, and led personal growth and training groups for over 40 years. He wrote The Tao of Leadership in 1985; since then it has been translated into 10 languages. This was followed by The Tao of Daily Living in 2000.
Here’s a link to the book at Amazon.
We hope you’ll be left inspired and ready for a meditation. So grab a cup of tea and take a few minutes to quietly indulge and center yourself. Enjoy!!
