Alright, let's get into this week's bestsellers!
The Tao Te Ching is one of the oldest spiritual texts in the world. Written around 2,400 years ago by Lao Tzu (meaning "Old Master"), the book is a series of meditations about the Tao — the way, the guiding light, the source of all existence.
According to the book, we can find this powerful source of motivation, energy, and really life itself where we least expect it: not in the strong but in the weak; not in speech but in silence; not in doing but in "not-doing."
If you want to feel calm and inspired at the same time, watch this video.

The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir
1-Sentence-Summary: The Second Sex delves into the concept of feminism by looking at historical facts and biases, and explains how being a woman implies being subjugated to a man, how making yourself smaller so that you can fit in today's world, but also how women everywhere should react to the system and change it.
Top 3 Lessons:
- Men and women are indeed different, but that doesn't mean we have to become "The Other".
- We lived in a matriarchal society at first, but the concept of property and male dominance changed that permanently.
- Religion and myths about women have increasingly perpetuated the concept of The Other.
If you want to understand how feminism started, this book is for you.
