I am a writer who has followed your work for years, but I am afraid none of these titles separates the book from thousands of other self-help, psyc, and spiritual guides. (Last time I checked, some 2.5+ million books are published around the world every year, and the number grows.) I reread the Tao Te Ching every morning, as well as The Art of War. The latter title makes one stop every time. Thus, I suggest something more striking to set the book apart and draw in an even greater audience. Lightening Strikes the Heart, say, or Head in a Basket: Take Control of Your Mind, and then a subtitle. (Throw-away titles, off the cuff, but I am sure you get my point.) Thought I might toss in an idea from a different angle.
Thank you for your feedback — I’m really pleased Option 2 connected with you. And yes, the plan absolutely includes physical copies! It’s important that this work can be held, revisited, and reflected on in a way that supports deeper understanding and connection with the Tao.
I appreciate your interest and support as this project takes shape.
Thank you for sharing your choice — I truly appreciate your support. It’s encouraging to see how Option 2 resonates with so many of you, especially as it reflects the balance of timeless Taoist insight and practical, everyday relevance that lies at the heart of Wu Wei Wisdom.
Your input helps shape this project in a meaningful way.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful words — I’m really pleased that Option 1 struck that balance for you. Making the Tao accessible without diluting its depth is exactly what I’m aiming for, and your insight affirms that intention beautifully.
I’m grateful for your support and honoured to have you as part of this journey.
Thank you for your light-hearted and honest take — that really made me smile! You're right, personal growth can sometimes land with a bit of a familiar ring (or raise a knowing eyebrow!), which is why clarity, intention, and maybe a dash of Taoist subtlety matter so much when choosing the right words.
I’ll keep your insight in mind as I refine the language — it’s all part of staying true to the Wu Wei Way.
Thank you for sharing your preference — I truly appreciate your input. It’s great to hear that Option 2 resonated with you, especially as it reflects the balance of ancient Taoist wisdom and everyday application that lies at the heart of Wu Wei Wisdom.
Your voice is helping guide this project forward with clarity and purpose.
Thank you for your wise and considered response. You’ve captured the essence of Wu Wei Wisdom so clearly — true transformation begins within. When we align with the Shen spirit and resolve internal confusion, our entire experience of the world shifts naturally.
I’m grateful you see that depth in Option 1 — your insight affirms the heart of what this work is all about.
Thank you for your thoughtful reflection — I appreciate both your support of Option 1 and your deeper insight into the language we use. You’re absolutely right: terms like personal growth can sometimes carry an unintended sense of striving or ego attachment.
TTC – Tuning into Life offers a gentler, more aligned tone — one that reflects the Wu Wei Way of flowing in harmony with the Tao rather than chasing outcomes. A very valuable suggestion that I’ll carry forward.
Thank you for your honest and insightful response — it’s always valuable to hear a fresh perspective. TTC – A Fresh Approach to Ancient Wisdoms is a clear and compelling suggestion that stays true to the Tao while signalling a new, accessible doorway into these timeless teachings.
Your input is helping shape the clarity and impact of this work — thank you for being part of the journey.
Thank you for your thoughtful contribution — it’s encouraging to hear that Option 1 speaks to you with a sense of expansiveness. I agree, the Tao offers such a wide and profound foundation that it can support not only individuals on their personal path but also those guiding others professionally.
A companion for therapists across all modalities is a beautiful suggestion — something that offers both depth and practical insight through the lens of Wu Wei Wisdom. I’ll certainly hold that in view as the project unfolds.
Thank you so much for your generous and thought-provoking feedback — and for your long-standing support of this work, it truly means a great deal. I completely understand your point: in such a crowded space, the title must carry clarity and impact, while remaining true to the essence of the Tao.
Your examples, even off the cuff, offer something vital — they prompt a pause, a curiosity, a moment of deeper reflection. That kind of arresting energy, paired with a subtitle rooted in Shen-led transformation, could be exactly what’s needed to reach beyond the expected.
I’ll carry your suggestions forward with care — thank you again for lending your voice and creative lens to this project.
