Fear and the Tao Te Ching – No Greater Illusion than Fear!

Tao of Our understanding Alcohol Recovery Podcast

Lao Tzu said much about our response to fear. Our real problem is not the pandemic or any other issue. Instead, our problem is the fear of that issue or problem. Good discussion on the difference between fear and danger. We also discussed how to move from fear to love with the application of the tools of recovery.
