Tango Tao?

Johanna Siegmann has written a book called the Tao of Tango which is described as follows:

A modern allegory using Tango as the metaphor for life, The Tao of Tango is a journey of self-discovery. Based on lessons acquired from years of dancing Tango, The Tao of Tango provides you with a clear understanding of “opposites” and “balance”, detailed, step-by-step explanations of why we make the choices we make, and how to change the way we make those choices. By applying the extraordinary transformational elements I learned from dancing Tango to my own everyday life, I was able to make the profound, lasting changes I had begun to believe would never happen!

Sounds..interesting! :)

I’m thinking of writing the “Tao of Footy”. It would also be a “step by step” guide about Tackling problems Head on and not Handballing them to others. How do you handle things in life if the Goal posts shift? Kick annoying habits. When you’re on a good thing how do you keep the Ball rolling? How to accept the Umpires’ decision. How to not just be a Spectator in life…...you’ll kick yourself if you don’t read it.

Lads, this is a tango website – discussions such as this are clearly out of bounds.

Yeah I guess we’ve dropped the ball on that.

Well you’ll just have to pull your socks up. In fact, it’s really about time you figured out which way the wind was blowing, or I’ll report you to the moderator who’ll bounce you out of here, i.e. it’s game over dude.

Perhaps you can start a new discussion on some of the sirens in the tango world instead?

Haha. Torpedoed. I guess that’s the final siren then.

On a serious note… there are some interesting reviews of the book on Amazon
