A perfect blend of parables and Taoist philosophy. Interesting for the experienced Taoist practitioner while also being the perfect introduction to Taoism.

Great!!! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Brought Enlightenment to me.

This is the 3rd book I've read by Derek Lin on the Tao. This one has me wanting to learn more about the Tao teachings and how I can be more open to accepting that we are all one. Looking forward to the next season of my life and what I will learn.

Tao Wisdom Explained. Stories with insights

I enjoyed this this read. There are too many quote books. The stories included with a scholarly explanation are an added bonus. It's definitely worth reading

The Tao that can be spoken of is not the enduring and unchanging Tao.

Derek Lin's book on the Tao is one of the best for me. It's simple enough to understand the concepts of Tao, and yet, you learn a lot.

He does not delve too much into the discussion of what the Tao is, as it should be. Instead, his writing allows the readers to reflect and learn on their own.
