I've read this book twice in my life, once when i was fourteen and now that I'm 29, at first I saw it as nothing less than a joke today I find. Some powerful lessons in the books that i can use. Still a lot of bad sections but overall an important read, would recommend meditation with it.

I admire Cheng Man-Ch'ing but I found this book far too esoteric to learn from.

Not sure I would say easy...

A Challenging read. Looking forward to reading again in the future.

After I study more.

[Robin Boudreaux]

great translation and commentary on lao tzu

[Justin Wheaton]

Lao Tzu’s work is much better, I think, than Confucius’.

[C Settles]

Originally bought this book looking for a translation of the TTC from a martial artist. I had read the TTC many times prior. This book was instrumental in my taking up Taiji.

[Neil Crowle]

Quite a good translation of this text and a very interesting commentary.
