How to combine career, love, self-realization and personal happiness? Irina Khakamada knows the answer to this question - a famous politician, public figure, writer, television and radio presenter, successful and beautiful woman. Like a chef, Irina Khakamada created her own recipe for life, mixing such different ingredients as Eastern philosophy, Western business approaches and Russian culture of modernity and postmodernity. As a result, I managed to reach a state where nothing prevents me from being happy. Well, how could you not share such knowledge?! The book is addressed to a wide range of readers.

“The Tao of Life” is the best of Irina Khakamada’s books. This is an intimate lesson about happy survival in modern conditions. The book amazes with its piercing sincerity, sometimes confessional, it is read in one breath and does not disappear from memory after reading. “The Tao of Life” is the best book about leadership, management, understanding business as an art, love and compassion for people, written on original Russian material. A must-read for all active people in Russia and the CIS. Konstantin Remchukov, editor-in-chief of Nezavisimaya Gazeta

In her new book, Irina Khakamada gives a master class on art that requires no less will, patience and intelligence than any other. The art of living. Her advice is pure, undiluted sobriety, coupled with knowledge of life and passion. And the key recommendation is this: you need to change not the world, but yourself, so the main object that you have to sculpt is yourself. In general, we have before us a dazzling utopia of success, which is still impossible to fully realize, but Irina Khakamada does not promise miracles, she simply gives impetus to life creativity.
