Publisher's Summary

The Tao of Bowie is partly an audiobook about David Bowie. But it’s mainly a audiobook about you.

Buddhism was central to David Bowie's life, but he was a wide-ranging thinker who also drew meaning from other sources including Jungian psychology, Nietzschean philosophy and Gnosticism. The Tao of Bowie condenses these concepts - the ideas that inspired and supported Bowie throughout his life and career - into 10 powerful lessons, each with a series of exercises, meditations and techniques to encourage listeners to apply these learnings to their own lives.

The Tao of Bowie will help listeners understand who they really are, clarify their purpose in life, manage their emotions and cope with setbacks and change. This fresh approach to the search for spirituality and happiness unites the perennial human quest for answers with the extraordinary mind and unique career of one of the most important cultural figures of the past half-century.

It has a simple concept: that David Bowie’s lifetime journey of self-discovery can be used as a template for yours; that the powerful ideas that fascinated Bowie and helped to shape his work, his career and his life can help you towards a life of greater happiness and purpose; and that, by following the exercises in this audiobook, you can pursue your own journey to self-discovery using Bowie as an accessible gateway to some of the world’s wisest teachings.

A unique take on mindfulness, meditation and meaning filtered through the life and work of David Bowie.
