Title: Tao Te Ching: The Essential Translation of the Ancient Chinese Book of the Tao Author: Lao Tzu Narrator: Edoardo Ballerini Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 21 minutes Release date: December 4, 2018 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.36 of Total 11 Ratings of Narrator: 4.67 of Total 3 Genres: World Religions Publisher's Summary: The original mindfulness book, in a landmark new translation by the award-winning translator of the I Ching and The Art of War   The most translated book in the world after the Bible, the Tao Te Ching, or “Book of the Tao,” is a guide to cultivating a life of peace, serenity, and compassion. Through aphorisms and parable, it leads readers toward the Tao, or the “Way”: harmony with the life force of the universe. Traditionally attributed to Lao-tzu, a Chinese philosopher thought to have been a contemporary of Confucius, it is the essential text of Taoism, one of the three major religions of ancient China. As one of the world’s great works of wisdom literature, it still has much to teach us today, offering a practical model based on modesty and self-restraint for living a balanced existence and for opening your mind, freeing your thoughts, and attaining greater self-awareness. With its emphasis on calm, simplicity, purity, and non-action, it provides a time-tested refuge from the busyness of modern life.   This new translation seeks to understand the Tao Te Ching as a guide to everyday living and encourages a slow, meditative reading experience. The Tao Te Ching’s eighty-one brief chapters are accompanied by illuminating commentary, interpretation, poems, and testimonials by the likes of Margaret Mead, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Dr. Wayne W. Dyer.
