For Oprah, the soul is at the heart of all the world's great religions—and with a better understanding of these traditions, we can distill the spiritual similarities and lessons between them and elevate our own spiritual consciousness.

Oprah explores the tradition of Taoism with Wayne Dyer, author of Change Your Thoughts—Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao. Widely regarded as "the father of motivation," Wayne shares his insights on the ancient Chinese book of wisdom, the Tao Te Ching, and why that ancient wisdom is just as relevant today as it was centuries ago.
