This is a self-help book on philosophy addressed to non-specialists in a very comprehensible way. A thought-provoking read with ideas in bite-sized portions. This book does not take on the religious or spiritual aspect of Taoism just the physics and healing nature of it. What is causing our bad decisions, depression, obsessive/compulsive disorders, addiction, conflict and matters of the heart try focusing on a change of perspective “…from the mind grasping the world to the mind being the world-from reality causing the mind, to the mind imagining reality.” I had to read some of the sentences over and over to get them straight but it was rewarding and enlightening. For example Eschauzier compares experiencing Taoism to the experience of smelling coffee you can describe it, you can explain it but it’s better to take a big whiff of coffee beans for yourself to understand it. This straightforward look at Taoism uses simple terms and aphorisms to help the lay-person understand the pathway to enlightenment through Zen. Oneless Oneness: Tao as an Existential Remedy, by Marcel Eschauzier is the third in the Unlock Tao series and a self-help book for people looking to open their minds to this ancient philosophy. Pithy and outside the box, it connects the dots for thinkers and seekers alike.
Oneless Oneness is at once philosophical manifesto and guide. In an aphoristic style, he explains how they can help us deal with all-too-human issues: from guilt, regrets, and compulsion, to forgiveness, mindful enjoyment, and matters of the heart.ĭiscover how Tao’s culture-transcending truth reconciles Eastern spirituality with Western rational philosophy. Inspired by Zen teachers and based on his own experience, the author uses his problem-solving engineer attitude for a thought-provoking take on satori and finding Tao-the key steps to enlightenment.
Enlightenment is the ultimate self-help because it helps you realize that the self does not exist.
