Brief description: William Martin, husband and father of two grown children, has been a student of the Tao for thirty-five years, and is the author of numerous other Tao-inspired books, including The Parent's Tao Te Ching and The Activist's Tao Te Ching. A graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, and Western Theological Seminary, he has worked as a research scientist for the Department of the Navy, a clergyman, and a college instructor in counseling, communications, and the humanities--and for many years, conducted workshops and seminars on the application of Taoist and Zen thought to the issues of everyday life.
Review Quotes: Like its predecessors, The Sage's Tao Te Ching opens our minds to the wisdom of our natural state and encourages us to accept and honor the inevitability of the wonder-filled grace of aging. Bill Martin deserves our humble gratitude for reacquainting us with our true selves.--from the foreword by Chungliang Al Huang
