Taoists believe:
You can only become true to yourself if you have nothing else left.

From The Book of the Way:

The Master gives himself up
to whatever the moment brings.
He knows that he is going to die,
and he has nothing left to hold on to:
no illusions in his mind,
no resistances in his body.
He doesn't think about his actions;
they flow from the core of his being.
He holds nothing back from life;
therefore he is ready for death,
as a man is ready for sleep
after a good day's work.

Sounds like good sound philosophy to me. Reaching that point is a whole different obstacle.
