Praise for Derek Lin’s books:
The Tao of Joy Every Day:
“The book offers up easily digestible wisdom for when you need a
quick bit of inspiration. It is a great way to start the day, and
it's small size makes it ideal for a nightstand book. It's short
but powerful entries are great for settling the mind before
bedtime, or on nights when you can't sleep. It's a great addition
to any Eastern wisdom book collection.”

move past the daily trivialities and frustrations that an inhibit
our lives. This is also a perfect companion to applying the Tao Te
Ching to the daily life.”
