by Deng Ming-Dao
Deng Ming Dao's Scholar Warrior takes an interesting look at the world of Taoism and attempts to apply this ancient wisdom to the hectic and modern lifestyle of the 21st century, offering the reader an interesting alternative to traditional western "self-help" books.
Written by Deng Ming Dao, a student of the legendary Taoist master Kwan Saihung, he takes the reader through a fascinating journey of the ancient world. Tackling a wide range of subjects including diet, meditation, life, death medicine, sexuality and even how to find one's purpose in life, Scholar Warrior offers the reader a unique perspective on living with a deep historical context.
Starting off from the 16th century B.C. and going right up to today, Ming Dao mixes philosophy with an easy to digest view of Asian history and how wars were fought, won and how they influenced the warrior class in ancient China to evolve past simple fighting and use their discipline to help better their lives and the lives of their countrymen.
With it's blend of Taoism, Martial Arts and Alternative Medicine, Scholar Warrior provides a fascinating opportunity to simplify our busy lives and mentally and physcially prepare for any challenge that comes our way. |
