    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    “In this delightful little book, Deng shares 144 ancient tales that are at times folkloric, others more comedic or tragic or paradoxical, and some just plain ribald. The advice contained here is simply presented: carry only what you need for the journey, literally and metaphorically. Quiet wisdom of the best kind.” —Library Journal

    Taming Tigers & Butterfly Dreams: 144 Fables—Taoist Wisdom for Modern Life is filled with ancient stories that express great truths by fusing anecdotes with philosophy. These foundational stories related to the Taoist path always speak to a powerful and collective wisdom:

    • Flow with life
    • Live from the heart
    • Develop an openness to possibilities
    • Live in balance
    • Drop expectations
    • Embrace acceptance

    Through these stories, we make sense of our identities, aging, and emotions. By fusing the wisdom of yesterday with our present experiences, author Deng Ming-Dao helps us find sanity and clarity, empowering us to visualize and navigate a better tomorrow.

    This book was previously published as The Wisdom of the Tao.
