"The book is strongly based on the deep knowledge of the author about ancient chinese philosophy and culture. Maybe it can bore you a little if you're not that interested into the subject. Nevertheless, the broad set of historical infos brought up by the author makes the whole thought-provoking ideas more trustful than just a bunch of allegedly-inspiring punching lines. definitely recomended for those who want to understand the tricky factors of charismatic and successful people." - Amazon Customer Reviews

A 2014 Brain Pickings Best Book on Psychology, Philosophy, and How to Live Meaningfully

Why is it hard to fall asleep the night before an important meeting? Or be charming and relaxed on a first date? What is it about a comedian whose jokes fall flat or an athlete who chokes?

What if, contrary to what we have long been told, spontaneity - not striving - is the answer to success? Through stories of mythical creatures and drunken cart riders, jazz musicians and Japanese motorcycle gangs, Slingerland effortlessly blends Eastern thought and cutting-edge science to show us how we can embody a spontaneous way of being and live more fulfilling lives.
