Tao Te Ching Paperback – September 2, 2019

I'll admit I started reading tao te ching more for better context on daoism in my beloved danmei novels than for the wisdom actually contained within, but that quickly changed.The format is simple and easy to understand, and it's a quick read. It has timeless wisdom, which when you read you go "of course, who wouldn't think this way?" But the verbalization of such quintessential intuitions lends itself to more mindfulness in your daily activities, and intentionality when you follow the intuitional wisdom contained within.Very good read, can be read piecemeal very easily.

Great translation of Tao Te Ching, a good collection of quotes and writings that are easy for anyone to understand. Good philosophy book for beginners.

Wisdom needs no introduction, sometimes a wise word is all you need to start the day and the Tao Te Ching gave me just that. I started my day reading this each morning and found something pleasant to ponder over every time I opened it.If you’re looking for wisdom of the ages condense into something manageable, look no further.

This was the current book in a group I’m in, which is the only reason I read it. But I’m glad I did because I found it pretty insightful. It was a short, quick read, but one that really made me think.

This is an excellent translation of the Tao Te Ching by Lau Tzu which is the second most translated book after the Bible. It is very readable and I have this translation as a hardback, on Kindle, & on Audible. Yes it is that good and easy to read.

This was a very insightful book! I would recommend it to all seeking inner peace. I will likely reference it and read again soon.

I have been reading translations of the Tao Te Ching and studying Taoism off and on for twenty-five years. The Tao Te Ching is of course an extraordinary work, and one always sees something in a new light with a different translation. I usually choose older translations (a 19th century translation would normally be the top pick), but Torode strikes a great balance of fidelity to the work and his fresh, clear translation.I would recommend it for all those interested in the Tao Te Ching, and if this is your first reading ever, this is the perfect place to start (and to return again and again).

Chinese classic for the journey.
