About this audiobook

Laozi, the ancient Chinese philosopher and founder of Taoism, remains an enigmatic figure whose teachings continue to inspire spiritual and philosophical thought. Believed to have lived in the 6th century BCE, Laozi is traditionally credited as the author of the Tao Te Ching, a foundational text that advocates harmony, simplicity, and balance with nature. This biography explores Laozi’s teachings on the Tao (the Way), his perspectives on governance, and his influence on Chinese culture and beyond. Despite the mysteries surrounding his life, Laozi’s philosophy profoundly impacted Eastern spirituality and provided a counterpoint to Confucian ideals. This book offers a comprehensive examination of his life, teachings, and the timeless relevance of Taoism in fostering mindfulness, humility, and a deeper connection to the natural world.
