We Believe In Immortality Book

I enjoyed this read from the standpoint of the elements of the original Tao te Ching. I've long been ambivalent, though, about the idea of turning these ancient texts into some sort of fly-by-night total adherence to the modern "corporate slug" mentality that was all the rage back in the 90's and even before.

Having said that, the sort of organization that would employ these timeless Truths would be an organization that goes beyond the usual "sluggery", into one both enlightened and empowered at every level.

I was also happy to discover one of the stanza's I used to have printed and posted at my (then) office. The metaphor of young trees and old dead trees, connected to the soft and weak overcoming the hard and stiff...the idea that flexibility and openness trumps and overcomes the dogmatic...western idealized?...mindset of closed-mindedness and fear. Fantastic to rediscover that old gem.

An all right book, but not spectacular. Many truths infuse it's pages.
