Book Synopsis

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.
