The bestselling, widely acclaimed translation from Stephen Mitchell
"Mitchell’s rendition of the Tao Te Ching comes as close to being definitive for our time as any I can imagine. It embodies the virtues its translator credits to the Chinese original: a gemlike lucidity that is radiant with humor, grace, largeheartedness, and deep wisdom." ― Huston Smith, author of The Religions of Man
In eighty-one brief chapters, this classic of ancient Chinese wisdom, Lao-tzu’s Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, provides advice that imparts balance and perspective, a serene and generous spirit, and teaches us how to work for the good with the effortless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao―the basic principle of the universe.
This spiritual classic offers a profound guide to the art of living:
- Ancient Wisdom: Discover teachings that have offered clarity and peace for centuries, presented in eighty-one brief, poetic chapters.
- The Art of Non-Action: Learn the principle of wei wu wei, or "doing not-doing," to achieve more with effortless skill and grace.
- Finding Balance: Explore profound advice on achieving a serene and generous spirit by living in harmony with the Tao.
- Spiritual Serenity: A path to emptying the mind of distractions and filling your core with a sense of your original, peaceful identity.
