Derek, one of the bestselling Taoist teachers and writers in America today, applies the Tao to his work everywhere, from the financial industry to technology (for 12 years he went home from his "day job" to translate the Tao Te Ching - the primary Taoist text - from ancient Chinese into an English version lauded by experts worldwide), which he balances with his leadership as director of Tao studies at the Great Tao Foundation of America in El Monte, California.
