The Way Of Daoism: Origins, Wisdom, And Applying It In Modern Life (Andrew Nugent)

Andrew Nugent is the founder and president of the Association for Traditional Studies which is dedicated to bringing the wisdom of eastern traditions of medicine and mindfulness to the modern world.

He spent 28 years in China Daoism, Chinese medicine, and martial arts before coming back to the states to translate and share this largely lost wisdom. 

In this conversation, we discuss the essence of the original teachings of the Dao and how to apply them to our life.
