Winner of Both Gold &amp; Silver 2018 Nautilus Book Award and #1 New Release in Taoism and Tao Te ChingChange Yourself, Change The World
Find answers. It’s easy to get outraged by world events, frustrated by our own personal battles, and disenfranchised from government and leadership. Born of moral indignation, informed by decades of study, and seasoned by a life of devoted self-cultivation, Monk Yun Rou’s Mad Monk Manifesto has answers, personal prescriptions, and calls to social and political action in one powerful book.
Change the world by changing ourselves. Based on ancient Chinese wisdom such as Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching, Mad Monk Manifesto is part tour guide to consciousness, part recipe for personal development, part prescription for environmental salvation, and part handbook for social change.
Wise advice for the awakened life. As ripples move away from a stone dropped into a pond, Mad Monk Manifesto begins with our personal lives, discussing diet, exercise, meditation, and mind/body practice. Then it expands to our public environment, describing what we can do to improve our community, government, and the world. Full of everything from advice for a healthy, conscious lifestyle to actions we can take to enhance the lives of friends, family, coworkers, and community members; Mad Monk Manifesto highlights spirituality and service. In addition, Monk Yun Rou encourages everyone to engage in the nature that surrounds them, showing how environmentalism can take place in daily life.
Mad Monk Manifesto is precisely what the world needs at a time of unprecedented environmental disasters, international instability, and divisive and unreliable leadership. After reading this book, you will learn:
<ul>
<li>How to relax, rectify, and rebalance life</li>
<li>How to bolster the community and deepen culture</li>
<li>How to effect positive change in commerce, government, power, and the environment</li>
</ul>
Mad Monk Manifesto is for readers of Alan Watts, Eckhart Tolle, and Change Your Thoughts―Change Your Life by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer.

Explore the Bond Between Humans and Animals Be a part of it ─ 2020 is Designated “Year of the Turtle” by Zoological and Conservation Organizations.
Turtle Planet is a work of philosophical fact and fiction by ordained Daoist Monk Yun Rou. This beautifully written work of thought deeply explores the bond between humans and animals―the wisdom they teach us, the wounds they can heal, and the role we play in their destruction.
A Daoist focus on personal cultivation, environmental conservation, and political and social justice. Daoist Monk Yun Rou received his academic education at Yale, Cornell, and the University of California and was ordained a Daoist monk at the Chun Yang (Pure Yang) Taoist Temple in Guangzhou, China. Drawing from his eclectic experience; Monk Yun Rou blends literature, biology, and medicine with his orthodox Daoist education. In Turtle Planet he mixes science, fantasy, magical realism, fables, and truth to create a joyful, irrepressibly creative, and utterly unique literary experience.
See the world through the eyes of turtles. Drawing on 50 years of loving and husbanding turtles, from the car-sized giant Leatherback turtle to the Central Asian tortoise, Monk Yun Rou renders the wonders and suffering of the natural world through the eyes of 18 exotic turtles, whom he visits while meditating. Finding them in deserts, jungles, rivers, streams, savannahs, and even an airport restroom; he listens as they share the triumphs and tragedies of their lives―sounding the alarm of what climate change, global extinction, human intervention, and environmental devastation really mean to their worlds and to ours. An informational glossary and description of each turtle at the end of the book is provided as a bonus gift to readers.
If you have read and learned from books such as H is for Hawk, The Soul of an Octopus, or Ishmael; you will be moved by Turtle Planet, a must for any reader who loves nature, cherishes animals, and celebrates ideas.

<div> A Story of Reincarnation, Parallel Worlds, Historical Fiction and Dedicated Love In the latest adventure from Yun Rou, author of the best-selling&nbsp;Turtle Planet&nbsp;and award-winning&nbsp;Mad Monk Manifesto, an American faces down a heady concoction of reincarnation, magical realism and violence to save his Chinese wife, while in a parallel world in ancient China, an astonishing bi-sexual omnivore single-handedly keeps a world of warriors at bay.&nbsp; Set in modern-day Los Angeles and late Song Dynasty China (1200's) the two storylines become more and more clearly intertwined as the book progresses.&nbsp; The story centers around Lulu, a strong woman of great exotic beauty who is a bisexual serial killer but with self-defense as a theme to her violence. She also feels strongly about her personal rights, her family, and the desire to see her homeland defended against invaders. When Lulu becomes comatose following a seemingly random act of violence, her dedicated husband nurses her trying to keep her alive. Hun, the Chinese God of Chaos acts to bring about coincidence, special circumstances, and a deep level of order to things that appear disordered on the surface. Yang Miao Zhen, a strong female military leader and warrior in medieval China is reincarnated again and again to do his bidding.&nbsp; The reader follows Lulu's earlier incarnation from childhood to marriage and motherhood, a warrior, a queen, also a killer, and an especially skillful fighter who defeats all comers, including fierce Mongol warriors.&nbsp; This is an intimate portrait of madness and love with an Asian twist, Yun Rou has been called the "Zen Gabriel Garcia-Marquez" for his works of magical realism and one of the most special and genuine voices in the arts today. </div>
