The Tao Is Silent
by Raymond M. SmullyanThe Tao Is Silent is Raymond Smullyan&’s beguiling and whimsical guide to the meaning and value of eastern philosophy to westerners. &“To me,&” writes Smullyan, &“Taoism means a state of inner serenity combined with an intense aesthetic awareness. Neither alone is adequate; a purely passive serenity is kind of dull, and an anxiety-ridden awareness is not very appealing.&” This is more than a book on Chinese philosophy. It is a series of ideas inspired by Taoism that treats a wide variety of subjects about life in general. Smullyan sees the Taoist as &“one who is not so much in search of something he hasn&’t, but who is enjoying what he has.&” Readers will be charmed and inspired by this witty, sophisticated, yet deeply religious author, whether he is discussing gardening, dogs, the art of napping, or computers who dream that they&’re human.

The Tao of Chip Kelly: Lessons from America's Most Innovative Coach
by Mark Saltveit"Having studied Kelly's time at Oregon extensively, Saltveit has written the book on Kelly. Literally."—Dan Graziano, ESPN This insightful, eye-opening guide reveals the methods and the madness behind the new coach of the San Francisco 49'ers. During his four years as football coach at the University of Oregon, Chip Kelly led the previously unheralded Ducks to a 46-7 record. But Chip Kelly's method goes a lot deeper than his high-risk defense and lightning-fast, no-huddle offense. What is behind Chip's astonishing success? It's a lot more than just plays and tactics. Now that he's run the NFL gauntlet as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles and emerged out the other side to come back to the west coast, this book looks at the remarkable philosophy and innovative management strategies that Chip Kelly uses to build elite teams-strategies that every leader or business manager can employ to make their own brand a champion.

The Tao of Cosmos: The Holographic Unity of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind
by Zhen G. Ma• Connects the philosophy of the I Ching with key recent advances in cosmology, such as the Big Bang theory, Roger Penrose's cyclic conformal cosmology, and his and Stuart Hameroff's cosmic quantum brain dynamics• Explains the Taoist cosmology of Heaven-Humanity Oneness in the context of Teilhard de Chardin&’s evolutionism, Thomas Berry&’s cosmogenetic trinity, and Brian Swimme&’s 12 cosmological powers• Examines the holographic unity of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind at microcosmic, mesocosmic, and macrocosmic scalesIs the universe inert and empty, or is it in some way responsive to consciousness? Breathing new life into a question that has perplexed philosophers since ancient times and scientists for the last century, physicist Zhen G. Ma, Ph.D., offers a quantitative &“theory of everything&” that beautifully integrates ancient I Ching philosophy, Eastern Taoism, modern cosmology, and the quantum brain dynamics of consciousness. Sharing insights from his years of research on space physics and black-hole spacetime—complemented by studies in quantum brain dynamics and cosmological powers with Brian Swimme at the California Institute of Integral Studies—Ma explains how his integrated theory draws primarily on two key paradigms in the philosophy of cosmology and consciousness: Swimme&’s cosmic creation story of the universe as a green dragon and Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff&’s cosmic consciousness.Extending these theories further, Ma shows how they harmonize not only with the ancient Eastern philosophy of the oneness of heaven and humanity, but also with a holographic cosmic principle that connects the quantum-plasma brain with the universe and earth with heaven. He then looks at this holographic unity in the cyclic process of birth, growth, decay, and death and shows how it resonates with Einstein-Friedmann&’s cosmological dynamics and Hawking-Penrose&’s quantum gravity model.Demonstrating a quantitative paradigm of everything, Ma shows how humanity is inextricably and holistically blended into the cosmic fabric of the universe.

by Linda KohanovAfter more than 20 years in print, an updated edition of the evocative and transformational classic about the powerful bond between women and horses When Linda Kohanov wrote The Tao of Equus over twenty years ago, she posed questions that few were asking: Do horses make choices?

The answers, detailed in this extraordinary chronicle that synthesizes science, behavioral research, and personal insight, transformed how we think about one of humanity’s oldest companions and established Kohanov at the vanguard of the emerging field of animal-assisted learning/therapy.
