Tao Te Ching: The Essential Translation of the Ancient Chinese Book of the Tao

4.2/5 ( ratings)

The original mindfulness book, in a landmark new translation that presents it as a guide to living a better, kinder, gentler life

The most translated book in the world after the Bible, the Tao Te Ching, or 'Book of the Way', is the essential text of Taoism, one of the three great religions of China. Through aphorisms and parable, it guides its readers toward the Tao, or the 'Way': living in harmony with the life force of the universe. Traditionally attributed to Lao Tzu, a Chinese philosopher who was a contemporary of Confucius, it offers a practical model for living based on modesty, self-restraint and balance and is an insightful guide for anyone seeking to open their minds, free their thoughts, and attain greater self-awareness.
