I'd like to learn about taoism, the teachings and their historical context.

Do you have a suggestion for english language works on the subject? How did you first learn about the subject?

I wrote a book specifically for people like you. It's titled "Digging Your Own Well: Daoism as a Practical Philosophy". You can find for sale at many book sellers on line as either a paperback or ebook. It's meant to be affordable, so don't fall for a drop-seller.

I read the synopsis and it's exactly what I was looking for. Marvelous, thank you!
