Who this is

“Water is soft and stone is hard, yet water wins — and a whole philosophy of living flows from noticing that.”

— The Great Philosophers, Ch. 6

The big idea, in the book's words:

“The universe runs on a deep, unnameable current — the Dao — and life goes best when you stop forcing things and move with it instead.”

— The Great Philosophers, Ch. 6
