In a prior episode, Oprah spoke with author Wayne Dyer about the fundamental teachings of Taoism. Today, Oprah continues her conversation with Wayne, author of Change Your Thoughts…Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao, about the teachings of the Tao Te Ching and how to apply the wisdom of the Tao to your everyday life.

Wayne also talks about his yearlong experience living the Tao. To accomplish this spiritual journey, Wayne says he gave up all his worldly possessions—from his home to his shoes—and then immersed himself in meditation, writing, yoga and other activities through which he could manifest the mystery of Taoism.
