DO NOTHING

DO NOTHING
INNER PEACE FOR EVERYDAY LIVING
REFLECTIONS ON CHUANG TZU'S PHILOSOPHY 
BY SIROJ SORAJJAKOOL
is this a good book ?
i remember chuang tzu 
this book was under title : self help
and under title : personal growth 
in DO NOTHING 
siroj sorajjakool considers the provocative ideas of chuang tzu
one of china's most important taoist philosophers
thought his thinking dates back to the fourth century 
chuang tzu's philosophy has profound implications for our modern lives
it challenges our definitions of normalcy 
success 
and happiness 
suggesting that our rigid 
and unquestioning adherence to these so-called "norms" leads to existential restlessness 
and unease 
instead of striving 
chuang tzu would say
be still 
instead of acquiring 
embrace nothingness 
instead of seeking to understand the limitlessness of the universe during your brief 
and extremely limited existence 
enjoy the wonder of it 
author siroj sorajjakool suggests that when we can embrace nothingness 
we undergo a spiritual transformation that liberates us to see more clearly 
and truly find ourselves 
DO NOTHING is his very personal exploration of chuang tzu's philosophy 
which may change how we view our aspirations 
our joys and sorrows 
our successes and failures 
and our own worth as individuals 
this siroj sorajjakool is professor of religion 
psychology 
and counseling at loma linda university 
and adjunct clinical professor at claremont school of theology 
but after reading books we should return direct to CHUANG TZU 
so let's read this book together
