Taoism for Beginners: A Guide to Balanced Living

What a great book! I learned a lot from reading it. Bargain price and quick delivery as well!!

It’s a great book for those looking to learn about Taoism.

I am pleased that this book was easy to read and understand. I have resumed exploring more reading topics in the areas of spirituality, Eastern and Western religious practices, as well as tools to use for meditation. I will continue reading items with this particular school of thought

I’m still reading

Would’ve preferred hardcover

I usually have a hard time with these sort of books. I find if I go slow and read part of a chapter at a time, I can better understand. I want to read it through quickly but am pacing myself.

There's not much meat to this "guide"; I was looking for a lot more based on the history of the authors. There are a lot of books available in the genre of "the idiot's guide to..." and unfortunately this book falls into that category and is not a real source for much.With the many books available that delve into the history of Taoism, notably those by Grigg and Deng Ming Dao, one quickly realizes this book needs to be a lot stronger (and bigger) to be of any real use. Although this is a great "loaner" for friends who are intrigued by your habits and lifestyle, if you practice any Taoist-related activities now you won't get anything from this book.Borrow it and check it out before buying!

Great book. Get back to the basics of life.

A great starter book on this subject. Recommend it.

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!

Excellent little book of simple guidance

Concise, informative, and entertaining book.

Too early to reviewvas I am still readig it. It is inforrmative so far.
