I recently had the pleasure of doing a book talk at the fabled Book Soup bookstore in West Hollywood (and yes, I love to say that). One of the audience members was Dr Carl Totton, professor and chair of psychology at a private graduate schoolin LA, and co-hosts a podcast called What’s This Tao All About. If you want a clear, lighthearted to Taoist (or Daoist) philosophy, start here! Dr. Totton, as an ordained Taoist Priest and licensed psychologist, he gives the big picture ideas along with down-to-earth examples of, well, what Tao is all about. Along with his co-host Tod Perry, a writer and by the sounds of the podcast a damn good one, they delve into the main tenets of Taoism in an order that is intuitive and informative to a beginner approaching a deep practice. I recommend you check it out for yourself.
