What is yours to do - and what was never yours to control?While imprisoned, Mohamedou Ould Slahi encountered the Tao Te Ching. Its ancient wisdom brought him peace and acceptance. But it also left him with a question: when does acceptance become passivity?Action Is Yours is his answer.Across 81 short reflections, Slahi explores the space between action and surrender, responsibility and control, justice and forgiveness, ambition and contentment, love and letting go.Drawing on his own life, his Mauritanian and Sufi heritage, and a long conversation with the Tao Te Ching, he offers a simple principle for living in a world we cannot command:Do what you can.Do it well.Do it with your whole heart.Then release it.This is not a translation or paraphrase of the Tao Te Ching. It is an original work in conversation with it - a reflection on how to accept reality without surrendering our responsibility to act.Action is yours. Outcome is not yours.

  • On the Duty of Civil Disobedience
    HENRY DAVID THOREAU
    Civil Disobedience argues that citizens should not permit their governments to overrule their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing their acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War, but the sentiments he expresses here are just as pertinent ...
