In today's fast-paced and competitive world, thinking less about control and more about balance can help us better navigate challenges ranging from climate change to social tensions and everyday decisions, according to Misha Tadd, director of Global Laozegetics Research Center at Nankai University. Tadd, who has studied the Tao Te Ching for over three decades, spoke with CGTN about why the text continues to resonate globally.

Rather than doing nothing, Taoism encourages balance, moderation and a more mindful relationship with nature and others. From personal reflection to cross-cultural understanding, these ideas still offer useful guidance for navigating a complex world.
