teapotmonkA gently rebellious 21st century take on the Tao Te Ching—one short chapter at a time. No robes, no incense, just scruffy wisdom, Tai Chi tips, and tea-stained reflections for modern life. Think calm, not clichés. Perfect for over-thinkers, under-doers, and anyone ready to slow down without nodding off. Based on reflections from book.
