This was a difficult one to do as it's a commentary on another book.. so it's 90% direct excerpts from the book. The concept mimetic desire is absolutely worth learning about. Let me know if you like these short book summaries, and I'll keep doing it.

This post contains excerpts, notes, from Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching". This book changed the way that I view the world in many ways. If you don't have time to sit down with the whole book, these excerpts meant the most to me.

Very nice. Are you going to finish the whole book all in one go? That first 3 chapters gave me a lot to think about for a year. Going deeper required me get a lot more into Shakespeare.

Well my problem is that I’m embarrassingly under-read in Shakespeare. I was planning on starting with the ones I’ve read, so I know the story. Yes, my mind is stuck on thinking about the implications of this.
