A review by avolyn
The Tao of Wu by The RZA, Chris Norris
5.0
If you read this book and all you got out of it was that Dragon Ball Z is a reflection of black culture in America, then you either didn't finish or were not reading this book with an open heart.
I was absolutely stunned by the profound messages within these pages. I've read numerous books on spirituality and meditation, and consciousness and Christianity, and despite my familiarity I felt this work was original and necessary. Very few quotes were ones I had absolutely heard before. But most of it felt fresh, original, and in need of telling.
I especially appreciated RZA's integration of multiple religions and mathematics. Despite being someone who works in data and studied finance in undergrad, I had never thought of mathematics in the way that he describes, the language of God.
I was also impressed with RZA's ability to write. While some reviews have said his organization is confusing, I found the opposite, that it flowed naturally and moved along at a great pace that was never boring, but often made me pause just to marinate in what was said. Some sections are short, some pages are quotes or a thought, but overall this book is dense with wisdom. I honestly could have read it in one sitting if not for grad school homework.
Get your hands on a copy as soon as you can, and allow your mind and heart to open.
