The Sage's Tao Te Ching: Ancient Advice for the Second Half of Life
The Sage's Tao Te Ching Ancient Advice for the Second Half of Life
Author: William Martin
As baby boomers begin to redefine their conception of aging and the elderly and journey forward into the second half of their lives, William Martin presents this vivid, new interpretation of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching expressly for those coming into the fullness of their lives and wisdom. Completing the trilogy that began with the Parent'...  more » (praised as "pure gold" by Hugh Prather) and continued with the Couple's Tao Te Ching ("a singular book," said George Fowler), William Martin now distills and freshly reinterprets the Tao for "sages," or those in the second half of life. As Martin writes, sages are the "primary keepers and transmitters of wisdom, culture, values, and spirituality." Martin's free-verse interpretation captures the ancient spirit of Lao Tzu's text, yet speaks directly to modern readers. Like the Parent's Tao and Couple's Tao before it, the Sage's Tao has the hallmarks of a classic.
