“This isn't my edition but oh, well. Taoism. One on the long list of religions whose scared texts I've infiltrated. Come on. I can't review a sacred text!”

“Essential.”

“This book offers great wisdom, without a compulsory dogma. A Christian can read the tao te ching and learn, but not have to compromise on his/her beliefs.”

• Rated 5 stars

“I've read a lot of Eastern Philosophy and this book is probably my favorite. Its ideas and poetry is something that is a continual draw. Helps a lot in times of turmoil or stress. A great reminder of what is important and who I really am.”

• Rated 5 stars

“Shelfari has a glitch here -- I read this translation of the Tao Te Ching by Stephen Mitchell, NOT Ursula Le Guin! Having read half a dozen translations, I love this one the best. I keep re-reading chapters, too, because his writing is full of the ZING factor for me. Goes well with Byron Katie and "The Work," too.”

• Rated 5 stars

“Great books with helpful notes.”

• Rated 5 stars

“This book has been labeled the "wisest book ever written." In truth it is the manual for living life. Translated from the original Chinese and the sacred words are filled with wisdom, wit, compassion, and a generousness of spirit.”
