In a world where every sacred practice is pulled into the orbit of political, racial, and social movements, yoga—once a profound, spiritual discipline—has been hijacked. Yoga has become the battlefield for debates about race, activism, and cultural appropriation. But what if yoga was never meant to serve these movements? What if its deepest power lies in personal liberation, far removed from social justice agendas?

A Handbook of Traditional Living consists of two texts originally published by the Italian cultural organization Raido, translated here for the first time: "The World of Tradition" and "The Front of Tradition".

Atribuido de Lao-Tsé, del cual se dice que estuvo meditando durante 80 años en el vientre de su madre virgen antes de decidirse a nacer, consta de 81 puntos compuestos de máximas breves en torno al "Tao", y de modo singular empieza la obra afirmando que 'Del Tao que se puede hablar, no es el Tao eterno'.

Lepore. This is the spirited, true story of a colorful, contrarian doctor on the world-famous island of Nantucket.

I didn't set out to create a new translation of the Tao Te Ching when writing The Way.
