The Daily Tao

Reviews

"Filled with inspiration, keen insight, and the ancient wisdom of the Tao Te Ching, William Martin’s The Daily Tao is a vital guide for today’s turbulent times.  As a wise companion on life’s journey, this book invites you to look beyond the busy surface of your days in moments of reflection that can bring you greater awareness, understanding, and peace of mind."  
 —Diane Dreher, author of The Tao of Inner Peace "In Daily Tao, William Martin invites us to join him in walking day by day along the path of the Tao Te Ching.  As we take each of his 365 steps we feel the presence of a friendly companion at our side.  The path is neither straight nor easy and each one of us treads it in our own unique way—but that doesn’t mean we are alone.  Drawing skillfully from the timeless wisdom of the Tao Te Ching, William Martin gently reminds us how to let go of ourselves and respond instead to the Tao.  As he says, “The only step necessary on this walk with the Tao is the one before you at this moment.”  Daily Tao shows us how to take this step every day."
 —Francis Pring-Mill, author of In Harmony with the Tao: A Guided Journey into the Tao Te Ching and There Is No Somewhere Else: Insights from the Tao Te Ching "William Martin’s contemporary rendering of the Tao Te Ching’s message is a welcome teaching in these troubled times. His words are simple yet profound, and provide essential guidance for the major tasks of becoming a wise elder. The wisdom is timeless, the prose is lyrical, and his meditations produce a harmonious resonance for the Soul on its journey Home in the autumn and winter of life.

Simple. Delightful. Inspirational."
