Manahawkin resident Eugene F. Bator III is a full-time Realtor, family man, martial artist, meditation practitioner and author of The Tao for Now, published earlier this year by Fulton Books.

In 134 pages Bator “presents a new path to self-discovery” and “encourages readers to look within their soul and eliminate greed, ego, materialism, and other factors that hinder them from becoming the ultimate version of themselves.”
