Following are three appendices: Living in Harmony with the Tao, Finding Happiness in Yoga, and The Path of the Buddha. All of the previous chapters depend in large part on Taoist, yogic, and Buddhist philosophies. Most of the information in these appendices is already incorporated in the earlier chapters.
I am including these three appendices here for three reasons.
• First, it is useful to see the sources of much of what has been set out in the previous chapters. Readers may want to use these brief discussions of the Tao, yoga and Buddhism as starting points for further study.
• Second, some readers may be interested in exploring organized religious and spiritual groups, and these appendices can provide an introduction to them.
• Finally, these three philosophic views of happiness are all similar but also different. Reading these appendices can provide additional angles from which to view and understand what has already been discussed in this book.
