Product Description

Product Description

Through his intelligent, appealing integration of Eastern philosophy and practical advice, Laurence G. Boldt has helped thousands of readers find personal satisfaction in their work and personal lives. Now he applies these principles to the subject of abundance: How do we achieve material wealth without sacrificing our souls? In The Tao of Abundance, Boldt applies ancient wisdom to modern times, presenting eight guiding principles from Taoist philosophy geared to help readers make practical life changes that will bring them a truer and deeper sense of abundance. Boldt encourages readers to strike a balance between material and spiritual wealth--not to favor one over the other--and argues that increased material wealth comes as a natural byproduct of psychological fulfillment. With exercises designed to help readers find their own balance between societal demands and their own deepest desires, this helpful, inspiring book offers the chance to experience a new feeling of abundance in all aspects of life.

My modern bible 14 Jun 2008
Format:Paperback
This is a brilliant book. You can refer back to it again and again. It is a wonderful antidote to all that is wrong with modern life. It is easy to read and full of quotes from wise individuals throughout the ages. Taoism provides a spiritual perspective perfectly suited to the dynamic and constantly changing modern world. It is full of wisdom and truth and there is nothing californian and gimmicky about it.

Enlightenment! 28 Nov 2010
Format:Kindle Edition
This book blew me away. I have never read a book of non-fiction that's as gripping to read as fiction. For several nights it lured me along till well past my bedtime. The writing flows so beautifully, and has the clarity of truth. Each little revelation opens your mind more and more and leads you higher and higher (or is it deeper and deeper?) into understanding. I often had to stop reading and simply take a breath and look out of the window, stunned. Reading this book was like being reminded of something I'd always understood but had somehow forgotten. Already I feel I've been enlightened, and have been made more aware of beauty. There are exercises at the back as well, that make you see your own life in a new way and have helped me make decisions that I know will change things for me. I'm just excited now to read all his other books - they're piled up by my bed like presents waiting to be opened.

Not and easy read but one I recommend 7 July 2003
By MotherLodeBeth - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
We have a large home library (mostly non-fiction) and many of the books are on eastern thought. This book is one I savor. I am reading it now and reading it is akin to savoring a long wonderful meal where each bite of food bathes the senses with wonder and pleasure.

Now I admit that Tao is a school I have always been interested in, but never fully, for whatever reason grasped. Until that is, I bought this book. And I guess the phrase "go with the flow" is what comes to mind a great deal when reading the book, because I am really learning the value of becoming more intuitive and comfortable with my own skin. The book does teach or encourage thankfully the whole march to your own healthy drummer. Live simple but content and don't feel that because "society" pushes and idea that it is a healthy idea.

I appreciate the chapters that deal with money issues and how money can be good or bad, depending on how it comes into our lives. Does it come from production or investment in a good ethical product from a fair market price, or does it come from unethical practices that make a few rich and most (the workers) poor or sick?

I look at the key word in each chapter like The Nature, Ease, Flow, Power, Harmony, Leisure, Beauty of Abundance and can see the consistent flow. Not a negative term is used. And I love how the author has chosen wonderful quotes from well known, past and present, sages. Like at the beginning of the chapter on The Beauty of Abundance where "A thing of beauty is a joy forever; Its loveliness increases; It will never Pass into nothingness... John Keats". Each quote is perfect for each chapter and hopefully will also encourage the reader to read works of those who have written the quote in question.

I also learn so much from the explanations of Tao terms and how they relate to the subject being discussed i.e. Te is often translated "virtue" or jen "human heartness". But its the slow leisurely reading of what total abundance is in all areas of my life that is so empowering.

This is not however and easy read, and that's good. It is a book that like a good meal, good friends, good sleep, must be a part of ones life. A book that you read a chapter and then think or meditate on so that you can savour all the wisdom each chapter has to give. It is not a quick fix book or new age or a fad. The wisdom is centuries old.

One of my very favorite books ever! 30 April 2005
By S. Grubb - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I actually listened to the audio version of this book, I don't know why I feel the need to admit that, but anyway I got it from the library a little over a year ago because I thought it would be about making money, which at the time was something I was very interested in, but instead it was about creating a life that you really love, so that you experience the abundance that is already there, that we mostly take for granted. This was not a new concept to me, but somehow it took that belief to a whole new level through tons of practical examples of how it can be used in ones daily life. Since "reading" this book I have given up all animal products from my diet, gotten rid of Cable and no longer watch TV, started walking most mornings in the park before work, and cleared my brain of enough clutter to find my calling in life, being a doula (and possibly even a midwife), which was something that had NEVER entered my brain before now. So that was a lot about me and not a lot about what the book is about, but when I think of why I would want to read a book, it is always with the hope I will learn something from it that will positively impact my life, and never before has one book has such a significant impact on my whole life.

Esoteric, yet practical 15 Feb 2000
By S. L Ceravolo - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I too have been looking for a book that combines Eastern philosophy with the practicalities of the Western economic system. The first part, which describes the concept of tao, was slow going. But once I got to the second chapter, I was hooked. The arguments are well-supported and logical, and help you break your personal paradigms about abundance and work. I am recommending this book to all my friends who are also going through that midlife questioning ("Is this all there is to life?").
