5.0 out of 5 stars Every line in 'simple taoism' will click., 26 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Simple Taoism: A Guide to Living in Balance (Paperback)
'Simple Taoism' is an essential book for the person seeking peace in an ever growing world of technology and distractions. Stuck in a stuffy shopping centre one morning waiting for the car to be fixed, a sudden desire to escape to the library for a bit of peace and quiet brought me to the book 'Simple Taoism'. I read almost half the book in 2 hours and was so taken by it, I spent a considerable some of money photocopying the rest of the book to read later. 'Simple Taoism' explains itself in such a pure and simple way, you can not fail to understand its message. The book fills you with inspiration and helps you realise that you can experience true life-long happiness if you just stop trying so hard. Everyone is lead to believe that they will reach a point in their lives when they will have every thing they need to be happy, but how long will it take? .If you understand Taoism you will realise that you can be happy now. Through this book you will see that Taoism is just pure wisdom. Taoism is simply derived from observing the ways of nature.

5.0 out of 5 stars taoism for all, 28 Oct 2004
By A Customer
I took several books on Taoism on a recent trip to China, and found this one was by far the most interesting. It is accessible, scholarly, and above all simple to understand. The authors capture the imagination and offer a comprehensive explanation about Taoism including the Tao Te Ching, Tai Chi and Chi Gong.
If you only want one book about Taoism, or are starting on the journey, this is the one to buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple Taoism provides a hand book for life, 23 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Simple Taoism: A Guide to Living in Balance (Paperback)
Simple Taoism provides a handbook for life. Deceptively brief, it explains in plain language the basics of Taoism and builds on these with simple exercises to help you put the theory into practice. It gently persuades you to look at your life again. Stand back and let things take their course - let your true nature emerge. A book that was meant to find its way onto my shelf. Feet on the ground stuff, but providing spiritual insight. An inspiration!
