Il Taoismo è una tradizione complessa ed eterogenea come il Buddhismo, l'Islam, l'Ebraismo, e il Cristianesimo. Questo libro espone in modo sintetico il pensiero e la religione taoista, senza fare alcuna distinzione fondamentale tra questi due aspetti, e soprattutto senza dare più importanza all'uno o all'altro, proponendosi invece di indicare ogni volta possibile lo stretto rapporto che li lega. Dopo due capitoli sul pensiero di Laozi (Lao Tzu) e di Zhuangzi (Chuang Tzu), il libro descrive le origini della religione taoista e le principali scuole create durante il primo e il secondo millennio. Altri capitoli sono dedicati alla visione del Dao e del cosmo, al rituale, ai concetti di "liberazione" e "immortalità", e alle diverse immagini del corpo umano. I capitoli finali riguardano le pratiche del "nutrire la vita", la meditazione, e l'alchimia esterna e interna.
