What Is Tao? This is It!
Published by bluebirdlinda , 1 year ago
This is an excellent way to begin to learn about the concept of the Tao, written by the great philosopher and writer Alan Watts. (Watts is most known for bringing the intellectually challenging but beautiful ideas of Eastern philosophy and religion to the West in the last decades of the 20th century.). Do give this a read. A real joy!
Simple but Insightful

What is Tao? If you have pondered that question and have not satisfied yourself with an answer then you should read this book. It could be read in a day but should probably be read a bit at a time and then thought about and discussed. A great introduction to Taoist Philosophy or companion to any of the traditional Taoist texts.

Alan Watts introduced a whole generation of Westerners to the ideas of Eastern Philosophy and Religion and this book is no exception
"...what we are seeking is already here."

I picked this book up at the library this afternoon because I wanted to read something simple over dinner. The dinner and the book complemented each other suitably: both were light and not filling. If one wants a treatise, look elsewhere. If one wants a very brief reminder of (or introduction to) eastern philosophy as presented by Alan Watts--someone who knows about eastern philosophy--this covers the plate nicely.
