Barefoot Doctor's Handbook for the Urban Warrior: A Spiritual Survival Guide

My friend picked up this book in Amsterdam many years ago, so I'm glad to finally get a copy. It's a great book for learning new, easy, and practical meditation tools and methods.

I found this book to be engaging, humorous and informative. I just picked it up one wet afternoon and couldn't put it down. This is the first book that I read by the Barefoot Doctor and it related Taoism to my world in a way that other texts couldn't, while making me look at life in a new and positive way. You can read it straight through from cover to cover or dip in at random according to your mood. I have read it many times and just keep getting more from it. Once you've read this one, you'll want to read more - good thing he's just written his 5th book - Liberation.

This book is a very clear way to relate to a Taoist way of living. I found it very helpful in most difficult moments. I'm thankful with the author for writing it. It's a lot of fun too, even while speaking about the deepest matters.

I found Barefoot Dr's book on the Tao excellent. It explained concepts in a clear and hip manner and provided exercises to incorporate the teachings in a practical way. The work is also in my opinion quite comprehensive.

I found this quite down to earth, no flowery philosophy like other books which had previously made if difficult for me to learn about Taoism. The exercises are straight forward and cover 2-3 pages each. This is a book that works for me as a beginner and will continue to be in my library for years as I refer back to it to get a greater sense of Self Spiritual Understanding. I highly recomend this to anyone who likes answers and straighforward instruction.
