The Tao of Happiness: Stories from Chuang Tzu for Your Spiritual Journey

This was a very good read for me. I look to be one with the Tao and this book is a step in the right direction. I would recommend this book to anyone who is on their spiritual journey.

Beautifully written stories. Inspiring. Derek has a gift for reading the ancient texts and bringing it into useable content to improve daily life.Derek Lin graciously provides a Tao meeting, via the web, that is filled with wisdom. For those interested in more there is Information for the meeting at Taoism.net.I have found a peaceful wisdom in Derek’s writting and talks.

Just finished reading the Tao of Happiness today. I ordered on my kindle the day it was released. I love the stories in this book. Chuang Tzu was masterful at conveying the way through stories. I also love the writing style of Derek Lin. His interpretations of each story are so clear and helpful. I started with The Tao of Daily Life, then The Tao of Success, and now The Tao of Happiness. All three of the books I just mentioned have a similar flow. Derek Lin is a brilliant writer and I feel like he is a teacher to all who read his books. I'm thankful to have these books. The Tao of Happiness is a great addition to the Derek Lin collection.

Great author and great book. Shorter than his other books. I like it though. Very chill read and stories that stick with you.

I enjoy all of Derek's books. They are written in a way that's easy to understand and full of insights that you can apply to daily life. This is a fun read and very useful to understand the Tao.

these stories are gentle teachers and the interpretations by the author are very spot on. I enjoy this series and in fact have made Derek Lin's books a part of my daily meditation.

Book is amazing. Not happy with packaging.The soft covered books were rolled to fit into a box that did not fit the book. Appears I will be apply to flatten out but disappointed.

This is a wonderful book with stories that are very relatable to our modern life. One can reflect upon one's own experiences and see how the Tao is at work all around them. When one's own awareness has shifted, then you can see how you can re-align yourself to be in better harmony with those around you, with the obstacles you are faced with, and be in harmony with yourself. Mr. Lin brings forth much in depth-insight with these stories. You will be entertained and truly amazed!

A little disappointed as this one is half the length of the other two books in the series for the same price.

I have always been looking for a book with short and deeply spiritual stories to help you contemplate on life. I have looked far and wide and never really found what I was looking for until now. What a great awe-inspiring book. I have read it with my girlfriend every night before bed and I hope to one day read it as bed time stories to my future children. Much more satisfying than the physically-beautiful maid meets rich prince fairy-tale stereotypes we seem to all have been exposed to.

The Tao of Happiness, in particular the chapters on life and death , have aided my understanding and outlook and I am not as angry now that the Tao has opened my thoughts.Thank you Derek

Awesome stories that I'd read to my daughter.
