Change Yourself, Change The World
Find answers. It's easy to get outraged by world events, frustrated by our own personal battles, and disenfranchised from government and leadership. Born of moral indignation, informed by decades of study, and seasoned by a life of devoted self-cultivation, Monk Yun Rou's Mad Monk Manifesto has answers, personal prescriptions, and calls to social and political action in one powerful book.
Change the world by changing ourselves. Based on ancient Chinese wisdom such as Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, Mad Monk Manifesto is part tour guide to consciousness, part recipe for personal development, part prescription for environmental salvation, and part handbook for social change.
Wise advice for the awakened life. As ripples move away from a stone dropped into a pond, Mad Monk Manifesto begins with our personal lives, discussing diet, exercise, meditation, and mind/body practice. Then it expands to our public environment, describing what we can do to improve our community, government, and the world. Full of everything from advice for a healthy, conscious lifestyle to actions we can take to enhance the lives of friends, family, coworkers, and community members; Mad Monk Manifesto highlights spirituality and service. In addition, Monk Yun Rou encourages everyone to engage in the nature that surrounds them, showing how environmentalism can take place in daily life.
Mad Monk Manifesto is precisely what the world needs at a time of unprecedented environmental disasters, international instability, and divisive and unreliable leadership. After reading this book, you will learn:
• How to relax, rectify, and rebalance life
• How to bolster the community and deepen culture
• How to effect positive change in commerce, government, power, and the environment
Mad Monk Manifesto is for readers of Alan Watts, Eckhart Tolle, and Change Your Thoughts-Change Your Life by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer.
