2.0 out of 5 stars High on quality, low on value for money..., 29 Jun 2001
By J. Scott "whitefort" (Co. Down United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
It's hard to be critical of Alan Watts talking about the Tao. This is an absolutely wonderful little introduction to the subject - but I'm afraid the emphasis must be on 'little.' It really *is* a very short book - transcribed, I think, from a short address - and this makes the price tag much too high for what you get.

Better to buy TAO: THE WATERCOURSE WAY by the same author, and get all this and more for (at present) less money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 21 Mar 2008
By D. Burke - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Ignore the chump who gave this 2 stars. It's a thin book but the invaluable wisdom and clarity here is packed in tightly and concisely. It's just absurd to give this 2 stars frankly, imho, regardless of whether or not it's offered cheaper elsewhere as part of a 'bigger' book.
