Greetings,

It seems that this book, and philosophy, is written from the man's 
perspective to men.  While there is great wisdom, there is no advice 
for women. It is stated:

"It's as if the Yang power must return into the Yin power, and the 
Yin must become the Yang power." (p.156)

But it seems all the teaching is to help men return to and regain Yin power.

"It is not enough just to connect Te back to Tao.  You must also 
practice the power of weakness.  This means to condition yourself to 
be humble, to be empty, to be low, to allow the subtle, invisible, 
yet ever almighty powerful Tao particle to flow into your body, to 
charge up your entire body as 'Tao body.'" (p. 158)

This does not seem to be advice for women to help them reconnect to 
Yang power.  There is something vital missing.

I will continue to read in hopes of finding the other side of this wisdom.
