Personal Review
Less is more.
Without academic commitment and the deliberate practice to match, writers risk a relapse in the fight against verbosity. The risk can be minimised, though not eradicated, by penning by the maxim, "Less is more."
Few wordsmiths boast the clarity and brevity of Laozi. To read Tao Te Ching is to walk through what makes Taoism extraodinary. Word power is thus exemplified.
Understandably, English learners prone to be wordy are adviced to gravitate towards conciseness.
