The Mystic's Wife

Delightful, but more than that. The gentlest book you read this year, it might also be the most powerful.What do you do when your children are hungry but your husband is more interested in 'philosophising' than providing food for his family?In The Mystic's Wife, Tima Lee has given us a gem. The Alchemist meets The Tao of Pooh, except this is a story of real life, where nice ideas are just not enough. Based on characters and anecdotes from one of the earliest texts of Taoism, The Chuang Tzu or Zhuangzi, it talks of the balance we all need to find.

Is life busy? After all the real-world stuff, is there much room left for stillness? At least take time to enjoy this book's treasure from Ancient China. It might help you to see your future. After reading it, you might find that living your life becomes a whole lot easier, in a quiet sort of way. You might even find it becomes fun
