For the first time, the great depth and diversity of Taoist spirituality is introduced in a single, accessible manual. Taoism, known widely today through the teachings of the classic Tao Te Ching and the practices of t'ai chi and feng-shui, is less known for its unique traditions of meditation, physical training, magical practice, and internal alchemy. Covering all of the most important texts, figures, and events, this essential guide illuminates Taoism's extraordinarily rich history and remarkable variety of practice. A comprehensive bibliography for further study completes this valuable reference work.

A great intro into Daoism, and its many areas. It's also really nice to have someone narrating that actually speaks Chinese, it makes a big difference.

Fantastic

Lots of info! some of it very interesting while some is super hard to pay attention to. some chapters kinda drag but if your interested in learning a basic concept of what taoism is this book seems great. Not sure how accurate it all is, but i liked what the author touched upon. This was my first introduction to taoism and overall i really liked it.

The great philosophers Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu would spin in their graves at the sight of the religion. The religion is superstition and ritual combined with deadly concoctions that, ironically, were attempting to give longevity and even immortality. Chuang Tzu specifically laughs at ritual and the religion elevates ritual. But the religion survives to this very day and this book gives a thorough history of the religion.

Excellent review of the religion but not for followers of the philosophy
