Product Description

Review
"Hooks like a thriller you can't put down! That a book can succeed in being authoritative about success, business, lifestyle and spirituality is impressive. That it's also engrossing, inspiring and upbeat makes it essential for everyone" Time Out"

Product Description
The Teachings of Yen Tzu shakes the very pillars of modern thinking and practice. With esoteric secrets, enlightening stories and insightful wisdom, its provocative lessons present a forgotten yet powerful alchemy for meaning and purpose. A legend tells of a famous Academy, now lost in the mountains of an Eastern Province. Founded 2,500 years ago by an immensely successful Patriarch, Yen Tzu, it attracted the interest of people seeking the secrets of prosperity and well-being. His ideas were certainly instrumental in Yen Tzu becoming Ancient China's first commercial billionaire. Today, despite the immense power at our fingertips, most people retire with little money. Clearly, the application of a new thinking and practice is as valid now as it was to prosperity over two millennia ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars The training continues ..... as does the journeay ..., 30 Oct 2004
The second volume of the teachings of the "Mythical" Yen Tzu. Like its sister volume (volume 1) this continues the inspiring lessons from the first volume. Once again the wonderfully simple but clear parables and tales are used to introduce the main ideas or concepts of each lesson. Once again each lesson can have specific components which are in turn introduced by an anecdote but ones that truly stick in the memory and are carried as the deeper meaning from each is simply and clearly elaborated.

Like the previous volume, there is a reference to a particular animal to equate with the particular lesson. This technique clearly has a very Eastern feel and mysticism about it. It is hinted in the introduction that the famed Patriarch Yen Tzu (from whence the title) was possibly a Taoist Sage.

The 6 animals and related lesson tpics are as follows:-

Eagle - Desires
Rat - Conscience
Snake - Awareness
Carp - Superconscious
Scorpion - True Nature
Turtle - Right Place, Right Time

these lessons develop further the 6 lessons from volume 1 (which is essential reading in advance) though are also applicable in their own right.

Another volume then to own and enjoy. And above all read.

Beautiful, inspiring stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully Inspiring ..., 30 Oct 2004
This lovely little volume (and its sister companion) are absolute gems of inspiration. Each "lesson" starts with a parable or tale surrounding either the Patriarch from the books title Yen Tzu or from one of his disciples. Each introduce a very simple and clear idea as the subject of the lesson. The lessons are 'life skills' but in a lot of ways are much more than that also ...

Each lesson title is referred to a particular animal that has strong connotations of the underlying message. The lessons in this, the first volume are as follows:-

Bull - Communication
Bear - Relationships
Heron - Patience
Monkey - Ego
Horse - Willpower
Tiger - Energy

Within each lesson the ideas are explored and examined fully/ Often there are several key components or ideas within a lesson and these are also often introduced with a further parable or tale from Yen Tzu or the academy.

In some ways a lot of the ideas or messages seem familiar from different sources and well known inspirational life management authors. However the ideas within the lessons have never been so beautifully knit together or explained in such a way that the actual meanings seem to slip subliminally into the sub conscious where they need to reach to invoke the power and impact of their teachings.

This book reminds me of similar Eastern thought provoking works such as the Tao Te Ching and the author hints that Yen Tzu himself may have been an enlightened Taoist Sage.

Buy this book and above all read it - as often as you can.

By Deniz Ates - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have never heard of Yen Tzu, nor can I find any information on him... but this book is just amazing... I cannot explain how wonderful it really is. It reveals the essential blockages to prosperity which are ignored by so many peope these days. Brilliant book.
