Description

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, 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.
