Taoism vs Buddhism: Why Modern Letting Go Feels So Empty

Why does “letting go” feel so empty for so many people today?

In modern culture, letting go is often presented as a universal solution. Release the emotion. Detach from the past. Drop what feels heavy. But despite all this advice, many people feel disconnected, numb, or strangely hollow afterward.

In this video, we explore how Taoism and Buddhism approach letting go very differently from modern self-help culture. Instead of treating release as a technique or emotional shortcut, these ancient traditions focus on insight, balance, timing, and alignment with reality.

You’ll learn:

Why modern letting go often leads to emptiness rather than freedom

How Taoism and Buddhism understand attachment in fundamentally different ways

The difference between avoidance, detachment, and true clarity

Why forcing emotional release can create more imbalance, not less
