All Else Is Bondage: Non-Volitional Living

THE AUTHOR HIMSELF SAID of this little volume that it is "the shortest, the clearest, and the most direct" of his books. In it he seeks to express the essence of ancient wisdom in modern terminology. One reviewer calls the author "an impassioned Taoist" who offers the reader the "chance to finally participate in the truth of things and of beings" (East and West magazine). Wei Wu Wei considered All Else Is Bondage to be the epitome of his life's work.
"Please be so good as to believe that there is nothing whatever mysterious about this matter. If it was easy, should we not all be Buddhas? No doubt, but the apparent difficulty is due to our conditioning. The apparent mystery, on the other hand, is just obnubilation, an inability to perceive the obvious owing to a conditioned reflex which causes us persistently to look in the wrong direction!"
