Pressestimmen
"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""Mitchell's great talent is to communicate with the profound simplicity utterly appropriate for this task. The obscure has been made transparent and available."-- "Common Boundary""Beautiful and accessible; the English, as 'fluid as melting ice, ' is a joy to read throughout."-- "The New Republic"
Kurzbeschreibung
Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, is the classic manual on the art of living, and one of the wonders of the world. In eighty-one brief chapters, the Tao Te Ching looks at the basic predicament of being alive and gives advice that imparts balance and perspective, a serene and generous spirit. This book is about wisdom in action. It teaches 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) and applies equally to good government and sexual love; to child rearing, business, and ecology.
Stephen Mitchell's bestselling version has been widely acclaimed as a gift to contemporary culture.

I'm indecisive about books 2 through 10 I'd like to have on a desert island, but this book has been numero uno for some time. This is a great translation of a great work. Each page can be read in a minute, or an hour, or a day. It's very compact, so it's very likely to be with me if I actually *am* stranded on a desert island, or in an airport, or waiting for a meeting happen. Less is more.
Buy two; give one away. Soon you'll be buying more to give away.
"Success is as dangerous as failure. Hope is as hollow as fear."

I find this reading of the Tao Te Ching extremely meditative and relaxing. I have shared the tapes with dozens of other people and it is the only version that ever made sense to me. The tone of Stephen Mitchell's voice is comforting, he doesn't just read the text, he feels it & breathes it. Highly recommended.

Everytime modern life starts eating at me... I take moment to glance in one of a select few books. One is Miyamoto Musashi's "book of Five Rings", one is "Bushido, the warrior's code" by Inazo Nitobe, and the last is the Tao Te Ching.
The Tao that can be explained... is not the true Tao, so I won't try to explain it, just that is can add a deeper, although more simplistic meaning to your life.
I study, but do not pretend to understand... the book's meaning changes for every new level of knowledge you gain. The sayings possess increadable depth, and I've found a few that have changed my life, as I increase my knowledge of the martial arts... one in particular comes to mind.
"If a violent man... does not come to a violent end. I choose him to teach me." -Lao Tzu.
I'd suggest obtaining a copy of this book, it can only help you...

An unsettling comfort

Good translation..

Fingers pointing at the moon
I don't think Lao Tzu intended his words to be taken as a Bible of rigid truths; a list of canons describing "The Way." Taoism transcends all words, that's the point! Lesen Sie weiter...
