082 Stop Trying so Hard: Lao Tzu and the art of Wu Wei
In this episode, we explore the ancient wisdom of wu wei—the art of non-striving, as taught by Lao Tzu in the Tao Te Ching.
Discover how this philosophy invites us to let go of the need to control and force outcomes, and instead, flow with life’s natural rhythms.
We’ll dive into how wu wei applies to modern challenges like burnout, creativity, and mindfulness, and discuss the powerful psychological benefits of surrender and trust. If you’re looking for more ease, clarity, and peace in your life, this episode offers insights and practical tools to help you stop pushing so hard and start living with more flow.
