This book combines the ancient wisdom of the Tao Te Ching with straightforward advice and illuminating anecdotes that show how the ancient wisdom can be applied in our busy, modern lives. The result is a practical road map for women who want to be at once strong, proactive leaders at work and at home, but who also know they deserve serenity and harmony in their lives.
Dreher explains with persuasive clarity how any woman can incorporate calm into her busy life by learning to: respond to change without being frantic or reactive; say no without feeling guilty; seize an opportunity and summon the strength to change; clear the absolutely necessary space for self that allows; continued growth and transformation; and honor her inner wisdom.
Chapter by chapter, The Tao of Womanhood explores effective methods for achieving these vital goals, illustrating them with stories from the author's life and the lives of others. Each section presents specific pointers and exercises designed to help you identify and achieve your personal aspirations.
