Members Reviews:

Not Deep Enough for these Subjects

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. But only for those with some Chinese history background.

Would you recommend Confucianism and Taoism to your friends? Why or why not?

Good starting point to understand the interaction of these religions

Which scene was your favorite?

Not applicable. The discussion of early Taoism is fascinating.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. The material is way to deep and thought provoking for one sitting.

Any additional comments?

A good starting place to understand the original and progression of both religions. You should know a fair amount about Chinese history to appreciate this book although some superficial comparisons to Western religions and philosophies are included.
