Customer Reviews
Great Overall
Great overall! Good metaphors, content, etc. Although content isn’t traditional or ‘out of the book’ like readings from Zhuangzi or the Dao de Jing. It is more applicable though and breaks down some of the parables, etc. The only thing is pronunciation of various things, like Laozi. They pronounce it (layo-zoo) when in China it is pronounced (la-owe-zoo).
Exactly what I was looking for
I like that this podcast is not trying to be bigger than it is - no bells and whistles - no big personalities- just a soothing, discerning voice sharing big concepts in a concise, practical fashion.
Therapy for those who need it
Good show for self-help, but if you’re looking for a podcasts on traditional Tao, this is not it.
