What would David Bowie do?

When life gets tough, who can we turn to for help? Who will help us find happiness, meaningand purpose? The Tao of Bowie suggests that we turn to David Bowie for guidance - and usehis amazing journey through life as a map to help us navigate our own.

Buddhism was central to David Bowie's life, but he was a wide-ranging thinker who also drewmeaning from other sources including Jungian psychology, Nietzschean philosophy andGnosticism. The Tao of Bowie condenses these concepts - the ideas that inspired andsupported Bowie throughout his life and career - into ten powerful lessons, each with a seriesof exercises, meditations and techniques to encourage readers to apply these learnings to theirown lives.

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