dreamy and relatable tale of a lost middle aged man who found peace and purpose through surfing. Ironically, I followed the same journey without knowing, down to the same tree he sat under. I read the book years later and felt an overwhelming sense of validation.

This book changed my life when I was 16, reframing the way I think about daily challenges and the ebb and flow of life and such. Thereโ€™s an effortless clear-pilledness to these words. I return to them often and keep a pocket-sized version in my backpack at all times. Chapter 11 resonates the most with me right now.

As the story goes, I was 15 and wanting to die when I stumbled upon the Tao Te Ching in my fatherโ€˜s library. It saved me. it took me out of my suffering and made me realize that I had experienced so little of the world. I clung to this book and carried it everywhere. I used to post pages as my MySpace bulletins ๐Ÿ˜ญ Eventually the light returned, and although I have wanted to die many times after that, I learned from that experience that it will always pass. And when my father died, this is the one thing of his that I asked for.
