"Simple Taoism" outlines the background and development of the philosophy, illustrated with stories to bring its history to life. The book then explains ways to incorporate the spiritual themes of Taoism into one's own life.
Simple Taoism is designed to help the reader understand what Taoism is about and to help apply its best aspects to everyday living. Divided into three parts, the book outlines:

• A clear explanation of Taoism and how to apply its best aspects to your daily life.
• Simple instructions for exercises to lead a fuller life--meditation, breathing, chi kung, and tai chi chuan.
• An informative discussion of key Taoist concepts, including wu-wei (nonaction), yin and yang, and Te (power virtue, life).
