(epub) Accepting Life on Life's Terms
Accepting Life on Life's Terms is a book containing ancient wisdom for modern times as conveyed by Chris L McClish, who had been the creator and podcast host for Cup of Tao. He conveys the wisdom he has gained from his many life roles including: author, psychotherapist, music composer, life-coach, personal trainer, martial arts sensei (Judo), and career as a Probation & Parole supervisor. The wisdom contained in this book is the same he has used to help many others!
What can you do when your life is falling apart around you? Is it really true that you can "be happy no matter how bad things are" as the majority of pop self-help books and many therapists tell us?
Can you be like water? The wisdom of Lao Tzu (the founder of Taoism) is heavily reflected in this book, which challenges us to use what we now call "mindfulness" in order to change our relationship with our thoughts, meanwhile being more fully present in the joyful moments of life, before they pass us by. Chris draws from his experience in many life roles in order to provide you with glimpses of ancient wisdom as applied to the modern tough life circumstances that we often find ourselves in.You may find that you change your view and actions after you adapt to a way of being that has helped many people such as yourself, throughout the ages. Chris later expanded these themes through the lens of native wisdom on his companion work, Walking the Red Road Home, published under his native name, Kowi Chito Hopaii.
