The early ideas that underpin Taoism came from shamans spending time looking at the natural world. Later Taoism became a coherent philosophy - a gorgeous way to understand how the world works.

Traditional Chinese culture rests upon the shoulders of three great sages, Confucius, the Buddha, and Lao Tzu. YIN is the story of the latter, the most mysterious and least known of the heavenly trio, and his quest for a soul mate, a quest answered by a tortoise, a Galápagos giant to be precise, brought to him, as a tiny baby, from across the great Pacific. A work of magical realism in the vein of Gabriel Garcia Márquez and David Mitchell, YIN chronicles the efforts of the great sage to create the woman of his dreams. It is a novel of idealism, frustration, persistence, unimaginable endurance, failure, tragedy, and triumph. Set alternately in current China's era of economic marvels and social change, and in the formative, ancient dynasty during which the seeds of today's great nation were sown, YIN entrances and enchants as a love story for the ages, yet also mines an ancient philosophy to offer readers both a different way of thinking and of looking at the world, and a recipe for social and environmental change. Tune in to this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, as host, June Stoyer talks to Tai Chi Master, Taoist monk, and best-selling author, Arthur Rosenfeld also known as Yunrou to talk about his new book, Yin: A Love Story. Yin is a beautifully written story that is thought provoking and symbolic. It is the type of book that will make you think about your own journey and develop a deeper appreciation for the world around you. If you love books that are chock filled with symbolism, spiritual meaning and the intricate connection each being has with one another, this is one interview you don't want to miss! Stay tuned!
