Number 5: Chapter 42 Tao Te Ching – It is Great to be a Loser!
In the 42nd Chapter of the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu reminds us of one of the foundational teachings of the Tao; violence in any form begets violence – in relationships, business, life, etc. By the same token, love begets love – in relationships, business, life, etc. We discuss how to find that balance and how loss of attachments many times is the real path of gain.
