Good

This is by no means a translation, so the idea of it being a Daoist work is irrelevent. It is, in fact, a writing of Constructive Living - based on the method of psychotherapy by Morita Masatake - using the Dao De Jing as a template. The book provides simple and sound wisdom for breaking through unrealistic thinking that gets in the way of allowing a more natural way of life and less suffering caused by obsession, compulsive behaviour, and other manifestations of held back thoughts and feelings. Another book using the Dao De Jing as a template that I highly recommend is Haven Treviño's The Tao of Healing.
