Product Description:
In The Tao of Mom, bestselling author Taro Gold shares with us 365 rare and insightful quotations from mother figures around the world, revealing on each page the wisdom, courage, and compassion that define motherhood. Tao is a Chinese word meaning way or path. The Tao of Mom, then, is literally The Way of Mothers. Many of the women celebrated in The Tao of Mom are well-known, while some are not; many hail from the West, yet all impart distinctly Eastern sensibilities. To further enrich our journey into the thoughts of each motherly figure, background details are included about each woman, such as Rosa Parks, mother of the modern civil rights movement; Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of the democratic movement in Myanmar; Maria Montessori, Italian educational reformer; and Abhirupa-Nanda, Indian poet-to name only a few. Lavishly illustrated, this gem of a book is for you to give to the moms in your life, for moms to give to you, for everyone to give to dads (as a loving reminder of how wise moms can be), and of course for you to give to yourself. The Tao of Mom is for everyone in need of a daily dose of motherly wisdom, inspiration, and comfort.

I have given this book to all the ladies in my life and they tell me they read from it every day. First I got it for my mom for Mother's Day and it snowballed from there, now all the women in the family have it and love it. I wish more men would read it too, it's really got the most incredible collection of wisdom from outstanding wise female figures around the world.

I have a collection of books filled with inspirational quotes from mothers, and this is the best of them all. I give it away at baby showers and for Mother's Day gifts, birthdays, and whenever. I've always thought of myself as a good mom, but I must say this little book has helped me be even better. What a joy and what a surprise to be able to say that about such a small book. The Tao of Mom is worth its weight in diamonds.

Joy can spring like a flower even from the cliffs of despair. ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
For years, Taro Gold was the recipient of journals given to him by his mother each New Year's Day. From these journals, Taro has selected 365 of his favorite quotations. He also includes biographical notes about each quote contributor.
I was captivated by quotes by Madame Chiang Kai-shek, Sei Shonagon, Patricia Clafford, Rosa Parks, Humishuma and Lady Murasaki Shikibu.

I met author Taro Gold in Chicago on his book tour this month and he was as delightful and interesting as his books are. I have enjoyed all of his books but I think this one may be my favorite of all. It is called Tao of Mom but it's really a book for everyone and is probably the most diverse and thought-provoking collection of wisdom I have come across in my life.
