A curious Taoist sage, Lao Tzu, was aware of the human quirk of getting so lost in intellectual prisons that people forget the natural way. And so, they force and strive, swimming against the stream, sometimes ending up further away from their goals than when they started. So, what if we stopped trying so hard and found a different, more effortless way of getting things done? This video explores Lao Tzu & The art of not trying.

Thank you for the collaboration. I'm honored! The result is awesome!
Blackrock CEO Larry Fink and every DEI policy and activist needs to watch this. You don’t “force” change you num nuts.
Thank you I needed to hear this… i often feel like I have to try hard, even when I know it won’t make a difference, but because I feel ashamed or judged for not trying.
I've been watching Einzle and Skool for years separately, so imagine my surprise at seeing this collaboration. Makes one think they are on to something 😅❤ Keep up the good work every one

Those who made this video definitely following some agenda. If someone tell you not "to try" anything and just go with the flow in other words it means listen and obey 😌😌
.. its 21st century btw everything is upside down and no longer goes according to this magical interpretation of an imaginary world.
…that no longer exist
I found this approach very interesting, and it explains some abilities that I haven't been able to understand before. In board meetings or during both hostile and friendly negotiations, I have somehow always managed to come out on top. I leave a greater impression of establishing a more trustworthy truth by spontaneously reacting in a proactive and constructive manner, rather than directly trying to oppose and expose an opponent's true narratives or agenda.
I think the way it works is that I have never planned or rehearsed anything I intend to say. I am in a perfect state of flow without any form of inner dialogue, simply reacting in the moment as an observer to what is being said. I only speak or try to express an opinion when I truly have something to say, and this way, everything I say seems to have an impact and be decisive.
All this would probably come down like a house of cards if I tried to force it.
I feel like not doing a thing and letting depression swallow me
Great collab!
