The Dummies guide to Tao focused largely on the many branches, the key figures, dates, milestones, and the adoption rates.
Which makes sense.
The Tao philosophy is so hard to understand and even harder to explain that it’s easier to fulfill an economic need to produce a book with facts and figures rather than do the very difficult work of taking abstract sayings and make them easy to digest for the right side of our brains.
