The Tao Te Ching is a fabulous piece of ancient wisdom that is often misquoted and misunderstood, yet there are so many insights from this piece of ancient wisdom that can influence our lives today. Captured and recorded in a simpler time it provides a series of insights that can help shape the way we live our lives today. These lessons can apply to the way we live our personal and professional lives. Sharing this wisdom can have a positive impact on the lives of all those that can connect with it.

In a world that has been rocked by a global pandemic, people are looking to live a simpler and more authentic life. The Tao Te Ching has so many insights to offer as people look to explore how to live this life. Ancient wisdom is often used to create a sense of mysticism about the world. Ian Pitchford was inspired by the Tao Te Ching, a book written over 2500 years ago in central China. This piece of ancient wisdom which when lived rather read, created a profound and lasting impact in his life. Passionate about what Ian had discovered in his journey with the Tao te Ching, TEDx is just such an incredible platform to share what this piece of ancient wisdom had to teach him about happiness and fulfilment. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
