#61: Why LESS is MORE | Taoism's Wisdom for True Freedom

In this podcast, we will explain why too much of anything is a bad idea and how to live in balance according to Taoist wisdom. Lao-tzu uses three primary images to explain why less is more: the overflowing cup, the blade that is too sharp, and the room full of treasures. But this is not about the material world, but rather the three images are about the mind, essentially how our "mind cup" can overflow from thinking itself. Find out why less is more in the ninth episode of the 81 Meditations of the Tao Te Ching, a series where we explore each chapter of the Tao Te Ching. We will dissect chapter nine of the Tao Te Ching to give you ultimate clarity on the meaning of this chapter.
