Lao Tzu's real name is Li, Er. His book is called Dao Te Jing. The main theme of Lao Tzu is "no action" or "無為"。By putting his theory in an example, it means the ultimate control are the ones that people does not even notice and consider it as normal or natural. Yet it is everywhere and most basic such as gravity. Things are done without knowing. Hence no action. One can also consider "no action" as to be one with nature. Another key concept that Lao Tzu introduces in Tao Te Ching is being (有)and nonbeing (无); or the something and the nothing.
