This book is a work of art. There are 81 powerful verses by Lao-tzu, followed by Dr. Wayne Dyer's thoughts. By the time I got to the 14th verse, I was beginning to reconnect to that inner sense of feeling connected with the natural world, seeing more beauty in everything. Something I had lost track of, and had not felt in 22 years! When I read the verses, and followed the suggestions by Dr. Dyer, which are grounding in the verses, I felt a new space within and all around me in which to become aware of the awesome power of peace, freedom, the Tao. This book will let you exhale. I could forget about stress.
Heavy content - will take a few listens . . .

Well, this is truly a mega-release by Dr. Dyer. I give it a "5" for content, but it's not like his dynamic lectures we are all accustom to. His reading of his book is good, reflective, but the content of this book is deep. Don't expect to give it a quick listen and grasp everything first go around. Or second. Or third, or, well, for a long time.
It is, however, an amazing work that I think will stand the test of time. His insight on Lao-tzu's 81 verses is just short of amazing; but I must confess that the tone sometimes puts me to sleep (which isn't exactly a bad thing) - it means I have to listen to chapters over again. This book on CD is a wealth of knowledge, just be patient with the message...

Its so deep and meaningful. Dr Dyer has done a great service to people of today's world by translating the Tao and by giving his guidance in understanding the Tao and giving real life examples. I love each word of it. The audio cd works better because i like to hear it directly from Dr Dyer and second I can listen to it even when i am tired and dont want to read. Thankyou Dr Dyer....hats off to you for showing us The Way to enlightenment and inner happiness!
