Tao Te Ching

<p><strong>The bestselling widely acclaimed translation from Stephen Mitchell</strong></p><p><strong>Mitchell's rendition of the <em>Tao Te Ching</em> 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 <em>The Religions of Man</em></strong></p><p>In eighty-one brief chapters Lao-tzu's <em>Tao Te Ching</em> or <em>Book of the Way</em> 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.</p>
