We have all heard the advice: If you want to cope with the never-ending increases in stress and strain in the modern world, then we have to become more like the simple bamboo. The bamboo bends with the wind, and therefore survives the storm better than more brittle trees and buildings.
In this book I describe two case studies which clearly show that flexibility – being like a bamboo - is an inadequate metaphor for good coping skills in the modern, deregulated marked economy of 24/7 cities; and the encroaching end of the weekend; the end of economic and social security; and the end of personal privacy and individual rights.
And, as I sit here and write this, I realize that what we need to be, to face these challenges, is a cross between a Zen Monk, and a muscular leopard!
In this book, I will teach you the essence of Moderate Stoicism and Moderate Buddhism - and I will steer clear of Extreme Stoicism. This philosophy of life will give you a new kind of mental agility, without surrendering to the advice to be totally passive in the face of growing pressure and stress.
I will also teach you the kind of Lifestyle Self-Management approach which will bring you as close as possible to being like a Zen Monk with some of the most human qualities of a muscular leopard -(physically and mentally!)
Skilful self-management is the watchword of the moment. This is how to live in joy, even among the growing suffering you see all around you!
This book could change your life!
