Trying Not to Try
Cognitive scientists are only now beginning to understand the ancient Chinese virtue of wu-wei (ooh-way). Slingerland draws on new research in psychology and neuroscience which shows exactly what's happening in the brain when we're in a state of wu-wei - why it makes us content and effective and trustworthy, and how, perhaps, it helped make civilization possible.
