The Art of Living Well


Book Description

The Art of Living Well: How to Find Joy and Love Your Life details a path to increased creativity, compassion, and joyfulness. It follows a trail blazed by the sages of western civilization, stopping at four points along the way. The first, the Oracle of Delphi - the Holiest of the Holies in the ancient Greek world - greets us with the words emblazoned on its entryway: "Know Thyself." Through these words we will come to an appreciation that Love stands at the very center of our being. We then meet the words of Polonius, a character in Shakespeare's Hamlet, who advises his son: "To thine own self be true." In this section we will learn to forge the Love we've uncovered into a tool of forgiveness, and we will use it to heal the buried hurts and pains from the past. Freed and bolstered with a newly strengthened sense of self, we next stand before the urgings of Ralph Waldo Emerson - Trust thyself. Here, we will learn how to trust the deepest within ourselves and the deepest in the world. At our last stopping point we find the words of friends and loved ones, not the wisdom of sages. They tell us to be ourselves-words that sound so simple-and we will see that we have developed the exact skills to live this way. The prize for our efforts is the art of living well: we will be able to find joy and love life in all of our various settings and roles. The author applies his more than thirty years as a physician, educator and striver in laying out an approach that is available to anyone who is willing to work with heart, mind, and commitment. Inner exercises complement the ideas presented in these pages, allowing readers to find their own insight and discoveries. These pages are available to anyone who feels there is more to life than what is merely seen with the eye."

The Art Of Life


Book Description

The Art Of Life: A Simple, Elegant, and Beautiful Pattern Help You Live A Happy And Meaningful Life! Out of Tao, One is born; Out of One, Two; Out of Two, Three; Out of Three, the Created Universe. - Tao Te Ching, Chapter 42In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. - Bible, Genesis 1:1~3The art of life is of essential importance to every person no matter rich or poor, man or woman, old or young, west or east, because everyone wants to have a happy and meaningful life but in vain to achieve both at the same time.With an ongoing unprecedented technology revolution, human beings are experiencing the complexities and uncertainties of this changing turbulent world. To help people better deal with all these emerging new challenges, wisdom is needed to embrace all the major aspects of human life. Inspired by the Bible and Tao Te Ching, two of the most original and influential books ever, the Art of Life, then, has been developed and resolved into five status of existences. These are (0) Being (with The Being) ; (1) Seeing; (2) Doing; (3) Routinizing; and (∞) Transforming. These five components should be understood and practiced by any person who wants to pursue the Art of Life: he who knows and practices them will live a happy and meaningful life; he who knows them not will be easily getting lost or trapped here and there.In this sense, you can keep all the following questions in mind so that you can check if you are doing the right thing for the right people in the right way at the right time of your life. Do you know the way of BEING with The BEING by returning to zero at any moment? Did you SEE your calling to a certain cause, as well as specific purposes of your current life stage? Did you take some real ACTIONS to do meaningful things and build meaningful relationships? Did you identify and create the KEYSTONE HABIT of your life? Are you ready to constantly return to zero by BEING with The Being so that you could continuously TRANSFORM your life? Hence, when you stop to be with The Being, you begin to see; when you see, you may have the courage to take actions; when you act, you can create a new habit; when you have a good habit, you will achieve your goals or have good virtues; with goals achieved and good virtues, you constantly transform and grow; when you continuously transform and grow with the golden spiral, your life is bound to be both happy and meaningful no matter what circumstances you are in. You Will Learn Five Stages From Being To Transforming, And Much More Topics! How to Live a Happy and Meaningful Life? How to Find the Meaning of Your Life? How to Design Your Priorities? What is Your Never-ending Engine? How to Manage Your Things and Relationships? What is Your Choice? Red or Blue Pill? How to Overcome Your Ethical Dilemmas? What Determines Your Thoughts and Behaviors? How to Create Your Keystone Habit? How to Live Every Moment of Your Life? How Transformation Occurs? How to Create a Golden Spiral in Your Life?
