Relax, you're already home

In the most difficult moments, when the universe seems to conspire against us, it's common to become stressed, depressed, and confused. Suddenly, we lose our bearings and direction and feel isolated, as if we're far from home. How do masters and followers of Eastern philosophies manage to remain zen in the face of life's setbacks? What lessons do they have to offer about the art of living? In his many travels to the East, Dr. Raymond Barnett was captivated by the way the Chinese live daily—in joy and sorrow—the principles of Taoism, "the oldest and most consistent approach to life on the planet." Now he offers us a generous and accessible book that teaches us how to incorporate Taoist habits and achieve the serenity of ancient sages here and now. Do you want to simplify, reshape, and enrich your life, but don't have the time or inclination to take up a regular spiritual practice? Relax. Through the exercises, questions, and reflections proposed in Relax, You're Already Home, you'll become more in tune with yourself and the universe, and soon you'll wonder how you ever lived any other way. "Raymond Barnett knows wonderfully how to bring Taoist good habits to the Western world." - Publishers Weekly
