So essentially there is a natural "way" for everything and everyone. It's best if you find it for yourself because it will lead you to an effortless and natural life. There are a lot of paradoxical phrases and vague allusions that are frankly hard to read for what can be summed up as "go with the flow".

Amazing commentary by Chen offers both detailed and general overviews of the basic tenets of Taoism. Takes conceptually difficult topics and simplifies them into modern rhetoric. The Tao is unnamed and does not exist, yet is the central element of being in accordance with the Way. It is about an innate disposition towards being filial rather than trying to cultivate virtue, which is so interesting as an American because the concept contrasts traditional Western ideologies and religions. It is about non-action, but not about not acting. Definitely a book I would return to in order to begin to understand the complexities of this way of life; perfect for those who have little to no knowledge of this system of beliefs.
Life is a reflection of the quality of your attention :)

I can't say I agree with many things in here but neither can I deny that there's a lot to think about, a lot that will stick with me. Definitely worth reading, especially this version. (I started with the Project Gutenberg translation which comparatively lacks in terms of both translation and context)
