Summary
For the first time, the great depth and diversity of Taoist spirituality is introduced in a single, accessible manual. Taoism, known widely today through the teachings of the classic Tao Te Ching and the practices of t'ai chi and feng-shui, is less known for its unique traditions of meditation, physical training, magical practice, and internal alchemy. Covering all of the most important texts, figures, and events, this essential guide illuminates Taoism's extraordinarily rich history and remarkable variety of practice. A comprehensive bibliography for further study completes this valuable reference work.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Pleasurable listen
As a novice of internal alchemical practises. I found the book to be an enjoyable and interesting insight into the practice. It both raises and answers some questions.

Excellent journey along the Daoist path
Excellent information from Eva Wong as usual, if you haven't read her books now is the time.

an interesting and informative book about Daoism
The author is clearly very knowledgeable and informed on the subject of Taoism. She is plainly a Daoist herself and therefore some religious beliefs, stated in a very matter of fact way, can come across as very silly (being proficient in internal cultivation can let you stare at the sun or literally bend your bones for instance). It's a very informative book and I don't think you could do much better in such a short listen/read but it's worth keeping the author's perspective in mind.

Great book, terrible recitation
I would have enjoyed this book - which I thought was highly informative and mind-expanding, if a tad rushed and slightly inaccurate in places - hugely if the narration had not been robotic, monotone, and tedium-inducing almost to the point of tears. Frankly, I cannot understand why the narrator has a job as a voice actress. It may as well have been read by a computer. What a terrible shame and waste of time - I would have much preferred to have read it instead.

Very informative
Provides a good history of how Taoism developed, and contains information about a lot of the sects and their views.
The narrator's voice is monotone, which can make it difficult to engage with the text over long periods of time. However, I find it difficult to read nonfiction and much prefer a monotone listen to physically reading it.
