“This book offers you an opportunity to internalize and directly experience the great wisdom of the Tao Te Ching, a collection of verses authored by the Chinese prophet Lao-tzu. “The words Tao Te Ching translate to ?living and applying the Great Way.’ Although just 81 short verses, the Tao encourages you to change your life by literally changing the way you think. By reading through the verses presented here (which I’ve pieced together after reviewing hundreds of translations)?along with the corresponding affirmation I’ve created for each verse?you’ll be embarking on a path that encompasses the profound ideas that Lao-tzu intended to convey. “The Tao Te Ching offers you Divine guidance on virtually every area of human existence. It is a new way of thinking in a world that needs to recapture its ancient teachings. Work with the verses and affirmations regularly and you will come to know the truth behind the ancient Tao observation: When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”
The world would change if all lived in the Tao. This is a MUST read, in schools, companies, government, etc.November 23, 2008 The Tao is the way, the truth, and the universe. Lao Tzu wrote 81 simple yet profound verses that transcended the fundamental reality of life. Life is about living in harmony with yin and yang. Without darkness, there can be no light.
Too often, we struggle against the waves when we can just flow with them. We keep searching outside, when we should be mastering inside. We want more, when we really need less. We follow other people's routines, when we could be creating our own rituals.
"The Tao that can be spoken of is not the true Tao."
The Tao is something to be experienced. Words are just fingers pointing at the moon. Don't focus on the finger, or you will miss all that heavenly glory.
Living in the Tao is like flying. You can follow footprints and formulas to climb the mountains so you can leap off the edge, but you can only find yourself when you fly.
This is a MUST read for everyone in the world. If you can read Chinese, the original version is the best. If not, go to the library and preview the version that connects best with you. I always read at least 30 pages of a book before I buy them. I read 1500 wpm, so this only takes 5 minutes.
I recommend Dr. Wayne Dryer's translation of this book based on what others have said. This is the ONLY book in all my reviews that I have not personally used, since I already read the original Chinese translations.
The translations are just the fingers. Find the one that points you best to your moon.

Living the WisdomOctober 12, 2008 Wayne Dyer is an enlightened human being. His outlook on life derives from many years of mastery. I especially like his affirmations related to intention.

Living the Wisdom of the Tao-Dr. Wayne DyerJuly 22, 2008 Dr. Dyer writes in a down-to-earth style easily understood by anyone. His books may hold information one knows already, but just reading them tends to bring the words home and helps one to make positive changes in one's life.
