Sweet and short, in accord with the Tao. Easy to revisit, I'll be rereading many times.

This is my favorite translation (really, interpretation) of the ancient chinese text. I have read it more times than I can count but every re-read imbues my understanding with greater meaning.

5 stars for the Tao Te Ching itself. The translation seemed good, but I want to read another translation to see if it makes a difference. I appreciated the commentary while I was still learning some of the concepts and am ready to read another version without commentary now!

I was stunned by the brevity and clarity of this more than two thousand year book. I am not a mystic by any stretch of imagination, so there are parts that I could not appreciate, but most of it touched me very intimately. The world, and our state of knowledge has changed so dramatically in the last two thousand years that it is hard to believe a book written that far back can still speak to us, and do so with so few words. Every sentence makes you reflect into your own life and experience, and makes you realize that things could have been done differently.

Pewdiepie book challenge book for I think February. I said I would give it a shot and yeah it’s not for me. It really doesn’t translate well to audio with a philosophy book like this you definitely have to read it on paper to go back and really understand the teachings.
