Living The Dao : Ancient Chinese Wisdom To Live A Happy Life

Daoism is an ancient Chinese philosophy that gives an understanding of the Universe as a unity which is the Dao. The Dao or "the Way" is the principle we should follow to live a happy and peaceful life. So how can we live according to the Dao ? What actions can we implement in our life to feel good and in harmony with the world ? Our modern world always pushes us to be more, to do more, making us believe that we are not enough. Daoism tells us the opposite : we are enough; we just need to learn how to let go.
