Taoism and Therapy Collide with Gerard Wouters
Manage episode 481264855 series 2987155
After three and a half years of doing this show at least once a week, I think I've found what might be the most difficult skill to learn; as it took our expert today over seven years of one on one study with a lifetime master of the craft before he was able to attempt it on his own.
Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts.
My guest today is Gerard Wouters. Gerard is a Dutch Taoist, which sounds about as statistically unlikely as it is. But he found that Taoism gave him a very clear path to both physically and mentally treat his clients for the last 30 years. We dive into what Tao is, the meaning behind Yin/Yang, and what this practice has that is so commonly mistaken for other beliefs or religions, when Tao itself does not worship anything at all. Mr. Wouters is also not a native English speaker, but I think he does a great job all the same.
In case you somehow missed it: The Just Dumb Enough Japan Tour starts in under two weeks, and I cannot wait to see everyone on the road! The schedule is looking nearly sold out, but I'd still love to meet up with fans in each city.

( https://a.co/d/6UrEqqw take you to: Www.Amazon.Com "How to make life simple, happy and successful the Taoist way: Introduction to a new way of living" )
Let's figure out Tao, the energy of everything.
I'm glad to be in my country and also glad to have you all listening, although I will soon be in Japan!
In ranking news... May has begun, and the monthly rankings are updated:
1. England of the United Kingdom.
2. The United States, with Wisconsin, California, and Georgia at the top.
3. Canada, with Ontario barely leading British Columbia.
4. Australia, with Queensland and New South Wales tied, and Southern Australia actually right behind.
5. Ireland, just over Israel.
That's it for this week! Have a great week, a great weekend, and I'll see you all back here next week for another new episode!
Until the next episode, pretty please do all the things to help the show: rate, review, like, and subscribe.

Most importantly, Stay Dumb!
