Best book for daily centering

Dreher, D. (1996). The Tao of Personal Leadership. New York: HarperBusiness.

Dreher, an educator, aikido practitioner, and student of the Tao organizes passages from the Tao Te Ching to guide leaders to awareness, centeredness, honor, and humility. The first section of the book addresses inner processes that help leaders achieve personal confidence in their role. The second section discusses ways a leader puts the Tao into action.

The book may be read front-to-back or its well-marked passages scanned for specific purposes. I randomly choose a passage to ponder at the start of each day.
