I am halfway through the book and I must say I am quite impressed. This is the "Taoism for Dummies" book I was seeking. A good modern interpretation of the Tao Te Ching, and very detailed description of Taoism practice. Includes step by step instruction along with a warning to attempt only with guidance of an instructor. I must admit, after reading some of the advanced practices, I have no desire to attempt with out some other guidance other than a book. It has , however offered some tidbits to help me refine and enhance the practices that I am already versed in. I recommend it to any beginner or anyone who reads this forum and scratches their head

Now I have an idea of what you guys are talking about!!
