@skeletor 💯 THIS!

Tao Te Ching
Stephen Mitchell

Ch. 17

When the Master governs, the people are hardly aware that he exists.

Next best is a leader who is loved.

Next, one who is feared.

The worst is one who is despised.

If you don’t trust the people,
you make them untrustworthy.

The Master doesn’t talk, he acts.

When his work is done, the people say, “Amazing:
we did it, all by ourselves!”

Anybody managing other people needs to read that.

    @SrRochardBunson @skeletor The Tao Is Silent is written by a mathematician and has a good sense of humor. It’s a bit mind bending in places. And the extra discussion and examples are interesting and enlightening. It is not overly long.

    If you like religious philosophy, and by extension philosophy in general, other interesting reads are Daniel Dennett’s Elbow Room which provides some rescue for the concept of free will and The View From Nowhere, a thought experiment.
