The Power of Tao: Tao Te Ching, The Way of the Dao - Expanded with Additional Interpretations
Summary
There are various translations and many new-age self-help books based on the Tao Te Ching - The Way of the Tao, also know as The Way of the Dao, Daodejing, or Dao De Jing, one of the most profound spiritual books ever to be written thousands of years ago by a sage who was known as Lao Tzu / Lao Tse or as some refer to him, Laozi. The beauty of the book is that it is left open to interpretation, in your own way, as you listen. The problem with this however, is that most are unable to comprehend the deep hidden meanings of the paragraphs and form any sense from them. Whilst the book is highly enlightening to some, it is equally confusing to others. This book contains the translation of the ancient Chinese text, and then goes on to give a unique explanation that offers clarification on the meanings of every paragraph. Each interpretation aims to make the Tao Te Ching a lot more understandable and enjoyable for all. The unique interpretations should allow those who are unable to grasp the wisdom from this ancient book, the opportunity to see clearly, the deeply hidden meanings behind the Way of The Tao. Prepare yourself for an internal shift, as the words in this book change your perceptions on reality. All the mystical paradoxes will be explained. Each of the 81 paragraphs dissected for your awakening. Enjoy the following pages and let the words sooth your soul.

Is That Thing Diesel?
Summary
At forty years old, a successful writer, husband and father, no longer toiling on offshore drilling rigs, was Paul Carter happily nestled in the cotton wool of suburban life enjoying the fruits of his labour? Was he f**k! With his manic life left far behind and the perfect opportunity to take it easy stretched before him what else would a middle-aged, bike obsessed, man want? Yes, that's right, he'd want to be the first guy to ride around Australia on an underpowered experimental motorcycle that runs on used cooking oil, wouldn't he? Preferably without getting hit by a semi-trailer full of bridge parts. Is he out of his mind? Quite possibly. Carter is back to his old balls-to-the-wall style of writing, prepare to laugh out loud.

Ride Like Hell and You'll Get There
Summary
Attempting 300 kph on an untested experimental motorcycle could be considered a perfect way to kill yourself, but Paul Carter is still, well, Paul Carter and "danger at high speed" is his second name. Whether discovering that being dyslexic means delivering your lines to camera back to front in the midst of filming a TV series, or starting a new business and travelling the world, or dealing with life's more sober moments like the birth of a son or the loss of a father, Paul Carter is still the funniest man in the bar and the nicest alpha male you'll ever meet as he risks all for the sake of a good story. So strap yourself in and brace yourself for his fourth book - we all remain hopeful that he will not be institutionalised before completing his fifth.
