Most achievers who want more from life—whether in their relationships, career, or fulfillment—turn to best-selling self-help books. But most of the "wisdom" in these bestsellers doesn't stand the test of time—at least not when compared to ancient texts that have helped people for thousands of years. One such ancient book that offers a treasure trove of wisdom is called the Zhuangzi, an early Daoist text. And while it's more than 2,000 years old… the wisdom contained inside this text is timeless. In fact, it's even more useful in modern life than it was in ancient times. In this episode, we're diving into wisdom that could completely reshape your life coming from a source that most achievers have never even heard of. It's ancient, it's profound, and it might just unlock what you've been searching for in love, career, and your inner life. Listen now.
