Every line in 'simple taoism' will click.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Simple Taoism (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

Simple Taoism provides a hand book for life.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Simple Taoism (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!

Fantastic!,

This review is from: Simple Taoism (Paperback)
The perfect book for beginners getting into taoism...I found the language straight-forward and easy to read and the content went over everything from the history of taoism to the beliefs and common practices associated with it such as acupuncture and tai chi chuan. It set me up with the perfect basic understanding of what is involved in it and I feel it was a gift that I have come upon such a book so early in my exploration of the philosophy. Two thumbs up!
