Not many books can say so much in so few words... and yet... it doesn't claim to have all the answers, either. I like that.

I am a big fan of Taoism and Buddhism. I find what they try to teach, and what they claim is amazing and oh so simple, yet it makes perfect sense.

I havent spent as much time studying Taoism as Buddhism, but from what I have read and learned about it, its pretty damn amazing as far as religions go.

As a militant atheist, I have to say Daoism surprised me when I first started learning about it because it's one of the few religions that actually makes a decent amount of sense. That's because it's not really a religion, but more of a philosophy of life (well, some people have made an organized religion with supernatural elements out of it, but they've ventured a ways away from the original philosophy of Laozi and Zhuangzi). Daoism isn't about gods or souls or rituals; it's about living life the right way, right here right now in the real world.

yeah that book definitely says a lot with a little words. i've just begun reading and trying to understand, but i've definitely found a book that i believe will give me much insight.
