Lao Tzu & the Dao De Jing: “Reverse and Return” (A New Year Reset)
As Lunar New Year (and Losar) approaches, we turn to Lao Tzu and the Dao De Jing for a practical reset: empty out what’s stale, make space for what’s new.
Adam Dietz and guest host Nick Egan explore Daoism’s core movement—“reverse and return”—and what it means to practice yielding strength, simplicity, and inner alignment. Along the way we touch Tibetan New Year (Losar), yin–yang, the five elements, and the Daoist image of water as a guide for living with less force and more flow.
Recorded in late January / early February 2026, as we enter the Year of the Horse, this is a conversation about renewal—not as self-improvement, but as returning to the Way.
