Still Warrior Productions
A Modern Explanation of Ancient Peace
by
Ancient Taoist wisdom made practical for modern life. Journey through all 81 chapters of the Tao Te Ching and discover a quieter way to meet stress, change, relationships, and yourself.
Ancient wisdom. Modern life. A quieter way forward.
For more than 2,500 years, Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching has offered a remarkably simple alternative to a life of striving, conflict, and control:
Stop forcing.
Pay attention.
Move with life instead of constantly fighting against it.
The problem is that ancient wisdom isn’t always easy to translate into Tuesday afternoon.
The Inner Teacher’s Tao brings all 81 chapters of the Tao Te Ching into the modern world in clear, approachable language. Each chapter presents the ancient teaching, explores what it means today, offers a reflection from the Inner Teacher, and provides practical ways to carry that wisdom into everyday life.
You’ll explore timeless ideas such as:
Finding strength without force
Letting go without giving up
Quieting the need to control everything
Responding instead of reacting
Living with greater simplicity and humility
Finding stillness in the middle of ordinary life
Trusting your own deeper wisdom
This isn’t a book asking you to withdraw from life, become a philosopher, or pretend nothing bothers you.
It is about learning to meet life differently.
Relationships. Frustration. Ambition. Fear. Success. Failure. Aging. Change. Even those wonderfully irritating people who seem personally assigned to test your spiritual development.
The Tao has something to say about all of it.
Read one chapter each morning. Use it as an evening reflection. Or simply open the book when life feels louder than you’d like.
You don’t need to master the Tao.
You only need to become quiet enough to notice that the Way has been there all along.
The teacher is not somewhere outside you.
The teacher is within.
Still Warrior Productions creates books and resources for building calm strength, resilience, and a more grounded way of living.
Still Warrior Productions creates books for people who want to keep growing, questioning, laughing, and living fully at every age. Our work ranges from practical guides to calm strength, resilience, healthy aging, and mindful living to reflective writing and character-driven fiction. We believe wisdom should be useful, strength should be adaptable, and life should never become smaller simply because the years keep adding up. No gurus. No grand promises. Just thoughtful books, practical ideas, honest stories, and a little hard-earned perspective for the road ahead.
Lessons in Calm Strength, Presence, and Everyday Resilience
The Still Warrior Path
What if peace isn't something you think your way into... but something you train?
Finding Strength in Stillness, Breath & Body
Rediscover strength through stillness.
Breathe deeply. Stand tall.
The mountain has always been waiting inside you.
"You do not train to move mountains - you train to become one."
Stillness isn't the absence of strength - it's where strength begins.
The Still Warrior Within is a calm revolution in training - a guide to building power, focus, and resilience through stillness and breath.
Blending martial arts philosophy, isometric science, and mindful awareness, Bruce R. Black shows how holding still can forge both muscle and mind.
You'll learn to:
- Build strength through still posture and controlled breath
- Calm your thoughts under pressure
- Transform tension into focus and fatigue into flow
- Reconnect your body, breath, and awareness
No noise. No competition. No gym required.
Just you, gravity, and a few minutes of quiet presence.
This is not a book about doing more - it's a book about doing less, and discovering that less was always enough.
Whether you're an athlete, a meditator, or just someone who wants to feel grounded again, The Still Warrior Within will help you rediscover calm strength in a restless world.
Stillness, Strength, and the Way of Everyday Power
The Still Warrior Training Guide is a practical system for building strength, balance, calm, and everyday resilience using only breath, posture, bodyweight, and focused stillness.
When Action No Longer Requires Thought
*Final Stillness* is about removing hesitation, overthinking, and unnecessary effort so action can become clear, immediate, and exact. When nothing inside you interferes, movement no longer needs to be managed.
A Spiritual Journey Through Humility, Silence, Love, Forgiveness and Presence
The Nine Doors to Inner Peace guides readers through nine timeless teachings—humility, silence, love, forgiveness, presence, and more—each offering a quieter path back to inner balance. Read it as a journey or open to the door you need most, and let the Inner Teacher remind you that peace was never somewhere else.
A Modern Guide to Dying, Letting Go, and Facing the Unknown
What if preparing for death could teach you how to live with less fear?
The Tibetan Book of the Dead, Made Human brings the ancient wisdom of Tibetan death teachings into plain, practical language for modern readers.
This is not a scholarly translation, and it does not ask you to adopt a belief system. Instead, Bruce R. Black explores the deeply human lessons within these teachings: fear, uncertainty, attachment, awareness, grief, and the difficult art of letting go.
Through twelve accessible chapters, you’ll learn how to recognize fear without being ruled by it, loosen the need for control, meet change with greater steadiness, sit more calmly with someone who is dying, and understand grief as a transition rather than a failure.
Each chapter begins with an adapted traditional teaching, followed by a clear modern explanation and a practical Still Warrior reflection.
You do not need to have death figured out.
You only need the willingness to meet the unknown with a little more awareness, a little less resistance, and a steadier mind.
Still Warrior Origins Book 2
Casey Mason has been taught not to react.
But when cruelty at school, threats against his family, and violence on their land begin to converge, stillness is no longer enough by itself.
Raised by the Fight is a story of a young man learning when to yield, when to stand, and how to protect what matters without becoming consumed by anger. Guided by Scott and the Still Warrior philosophy, Casey discovers that true strength is not about avoiding conflict.
It is about knowing how to move through it without losing yourself.
When the only way to end the violence, is to master the calm.
A martial artist searching for peace finds himself defending a small town from escalating violence—and discovers that the hardest fight is remaining calm without becoming what he opposes.
The Still Warrior Glideboard Training Method
Strength doesn’t have to be loud, punishing, or complicated.
*Calm Strength* introduces the Still Warrior Glideboard Training Method—a practical full-body program built around five essential exercises, one controlled set, and just two or three workouts each week.
Using a glideboard trainer such as a Total Gym, GR8FLEX, Weider Body Works, or similar machine, you’ll develop useful strength, muscular endurance, mobility, and better control without turning every workout into a battle.
Simple enough to begin. Challenging enough to matter. Sustainable enough to continue.
Calm is a skill. Train it.
