Taoism is an ancient Chinese mystical, philosophical and religious tradition that emphasizes living in agreement with the Tao.
The main work in Taoism is the Tao Te Ching created by a mysterious author called Lao Tzu, which contains profound wisdom and insights.
But there are more ancient works that define Taoism like Zhuangzi and Liezi.
It can be difficult to make sense out of the poetry, parables, anecdotes and other forms of writing that Taoist scriptures have to offer.
Nevertheless, we can find a lot of value in them.
In this video, I'd like to discuss some Taoist wisdom for inner peace.
Taoism contains a philosophy that almost directly opposes today's culture.
We're all about "work hard, play hard", being proactive, unlocking your full potential, achieving social status, which often goes hand-in-hand with stretching ourselves beyond our capacities.
This doesn't mean that accomplishment is evil.
A certain degree of accomplishment is necessary for survival and lies at the basis of civilization.
