Synopsis "Outlast: 30 Years of Wisdom From Business, Tao, and Life (in English)"
In Outlast: 30 Years of Wisdom from Business, Tao, & Life, Master Arthur Levitan, one of the only Taoist Masters in the West, reveals the ancient philosophical system, in which the practices include long-held secrets to survival. Along with stories from his own experience, Master Levitan provides clear, actionable steps to handle a rarely addressed, yet critical issue in crisis: How to manage one’s internal state for the best external outcome.In achieving this, Master Levitan takes us beyond typical life or business advice and into the deeper power of Tao. For example, in the chapter, “Don’t Be Alone,” Master Levitan shares not only how to build out one’s “crisis team”, but nine tests each member must pass in order to be deemed trustworthy. In “Accept and Embrace,” we learn why anything less than 100% engagement in the crisis can be deadly, and how to conserve vital energy we’ll need to fight when truly necessary. Then, in “Know Your Opponent,” Master Levitan demonstrates how to recognize both the enemy’s motivations and cracks in their character that, when pressed, can lead to certain victory. Lastly, the author once again bucks tradition by revealing and pointing out the key to a peaceful life once free from crisis.Outlast provides a way through crisis readers didn’t know existed: Rather than fight it, side-step it.
