Go for it Cainxinth!
I might be joining you as I am becoming increasingly suspicious of the benefits of Zen meditation . I think forcing the mind to concentrate on any one thing (eg. the breath) is unnatural and requires sustained internal effort to maintain the state. I found that I became mentally very tired and so i’m ditching it.
Maybe its one of those things that works for some and not others, well i’m definitely one of the others.
I have to warn you though that there is a serious danger in becoming a Taoist or Zen Buddhist - over-hyphenation.
What seems like an innocent embellishment can become an obsession if left unchecked and before long you can find yourself writing sentences about the-beauty-of-things-in-their-suchness.
A little discipline can cure this habit, so you needn’t worry too much.
Do you know how many Taoists it takes to change a lightbulb? It takes two: one to change the light bulb, and one to *not *change the light bulb! 
I’ve found this thread intriguing ! I especially like the ‘not as passive-aggressive as Buddhism’ part.
I am that kind of person who learns best from books (you know … paper, ink, etc). Can anyone recommend a good Taoist starter book? First person to respond may get a prize for converting me …
I always liked The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff.
If you feel you have to change religions then the Taoists have won.
One: for no matter how many are needed, in the end, the bulb changes itself.
Or better still, none: for the bulb that can be changed is not the true bulb.
thanks for that !
