Anti-stress wisdom holds the key to living your life as
if everything is a miracle.
Stress is one of the many underlying causes of human diseases, and a major stumbling block in natural health and self-healing. Unfortunately, stress is common in modern living: it may come from careers, relationships, finance, and simply everyday living. To get rid of stress, you need more than just relaxation techniques to help you: you need to get rid of your ego. Without your ego, you have no stress. It's just that simple!
Get Tao wisdom—the ancient wisdom from China to learn how to cope
with life's challenges and difficulties in order to live your life as if
everything is a miracle.
NO EGO NO STRESS is
made up of four parts.
PART
ONE: An Introduction to Stress
It explains how and where stress comes from;
the damage and devastation of stress to human health.
PART TWO: Conventional
Wisdom
The major life stressors come from career, money, relationships, adversity, and time Conventional wisdom offers many strategies for stress
relief, such as exercise, herbs, medications, meditation, and psychotherapies,
among many others. Conventional wisdom may reduce stress levels, but it does
not eradicate stress completely. Conventional wisdom may only complement the
ancient Tao wisdom for ultimate stress relief.
PART THREE: Tao Wisdom
This part not only explains what Tao wisdom is all about, but also
contains the complete translation in simple English of all the 81 short chapters
of “Tao Te Ching.” Going through the whole script, interpreted and translated
by the author, will enable you to understand the essentials of Tao wisdom for
stress-free contemporary living.
PART FOUR: No Ego No
Stress:
Stress originates from the human mind: how it perceives and
processes life experiences. What is stress to one individual may not be stress
to another. This part explains in detail how having no ego can eradicate stress
related to career, relationship, money, adversity, and time.
”NO EGO NO STRESS” points out how the human ego is formed by the
subconscious mind through its perceptions and interpretations of life
experiences. The author relates to the famous saying by Descartes,
the great French philosopher: “I think, therefore I am.” It is a myth or
misconception that you are “who” and “what” you think; you are not the byproducts of your thoughts. “Who” and “what” you think you have
become is just your ego-self, erroneously created by your self-deceptive thinking mind.
Tao wisdom focuses on the need of “emptying” and “reversing” the
human mind in order to see “who” and “what” you truly are,
without any attachment to your ego.
According to Lao Tzu, the ego
is unreal, because it is based on past memories and projections of those
memories into the future as desires and expectations. The past was gone, and
the future is yet to come; only the present is real. Therefore, the ego-self
that exists in the past or in the future is non-existing in the present, except
in the mind.
Without the ego, there is no need of protecting or sustaining it.
Without fear and expectation, there is no need of judging, picking and
choosing—they often result in making wrong choices and decisions, and thus
creating stress. With no ego, there is no need of over-doing to fulfill the
expectation. The problem with conventional wisdom is that the mind focuses on
the past or the future, but seldom stays in the present. Only when the mind
stays in the present can it see things as they really are and not as what they
should be.
Tao wisdom is essentially understanding of the true nature of
things: that everything in life follows a natural order and pattern, such as
life begets death, success is followed by failure, what goes up must come down.
Tao wisdom is self-intuition to know self and others, as well as the world
around.
