Dr. Totton shares how his training in Taoist practices has helped him overcome a series of strokes. Later, he shares his new acronym for decision-making in-the-moment, “L.E.A.P.”

Back in 2015, a conversation began between journalist Tod Perry and Dr. Carl Totton-a unique dialogue that evolved into What's This Tao All About?. Dr. Totton brings a fascinating perspective as a Doctor of Psychology, founder of the Taoist Institute, and even a member of the Martial Arts Hall of Fame. Together, they embark on a lighthearted yet profound journey through the ancient wisdom of the Tao. This isn't a dry lecture; it's an accessible and engaging exploration designed for the curious, whether you're deeply spiritual or simply wondering what these ideas are all about. Each episode delves into the basic, often misunderstood concepts of Taoism and walks through the chapters of the foundational text, "The Tao Te Ching." You'll hear their discussions unpack how these teachings apply to the flow and challenges of modern life, from personal psychology to everyday decisions. The charm of this podcast lies in the genuine, meandering dialogue between the two hosts, making profound philosophy feel like a relatable conversation. It’s a chance to listen in as they parse out what it means to live in harmony, embrace simplicity, and understand the natural way of things.
