Narrated by: Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

Length: 9 hrs and 9 mins

Publisher's summary

Five hundred years before the birth of Jesus, a God-realized being named Lao-tzu in ancient China dictated 81 verses, which are regarded by many as the ultimate commentary on the nature of our existence. The classic text of these 81 verses, called the Tao Te Ching or the Great Way, offers advice and guidance that is balanced, moral, spiritual, and always concerned with working for the good.

In this program, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer has reviewed hundreds of translations of the Tao Te Ching and has created 81 distinct essays on how to apply the ancient wisdom of Lao-tzu to today's modern world. This work contains the entire 81 verses of the Tao, compiled from Wayne's researching of 10 of the most well-respected translations of text that have survived for more than 25 centuries. As Wayne says, "This is an audiobook that will forever change the way you look at your life, and the result will be that you'll live in a new world aligned with nature. I'm so proud to present this interpretation of the Tao Te Ching, and offer the same opportunity for change that it has brought me."

A must read!!

This audiobook is my favorite of all the books I've listened to so far... which is a lot! I found Wayne Dyer's voice very pleasant to listen to, and the content is fabulous. The information is well presented. If everyone lived according to the way of the Tao, the world would be a better place. As a reader of Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth I think this book covers many of the same concepts in ANE, only in an easier to understand format.

Brilliant.

A lot of you will be familiar with Wayne Dyer's work, and this is no different in that it comes from the purest place of helping people. I found some verses more helpful than others, but over all, I found this to be endlessly inspiring, calming, and warming to the soul. I've listened to the whole thing, and regularly return to it, listening to a verse before I go to bed or get up. There is such simplicity and wisdom that it really puts me in a wonderful space every time.

Thankyou Lao Tsu, and thankyou Wayne Dyer.

Ever read a book that changed your life, that helped you find center, focus, peace and a new found sense of self? This is "that" book. Dr. Dyer has done a marvelous job of making the Tao Te Ching understandable and more... embraceable. You'll enjoy this book.

To speak the Tao is not the true Tao

When I first enlisted in the Marines a fellow recruit introduced me to the Tao Te Ching. I wasn’t having religion rammed down my throat which many people have wanted to do for decades to me. I chose my own path as a result of reading the Tao Te Ching later. Tao has been out of my life for a few years when this book came into my life recently. I’ve always tried to live by the teachings. Now we have a book by someone who has done that for some time. I found that this occurred for a reason and I’ve begun to actively force myself not to see people as my enemies. Nor do I see myself in competition with anyone. I found this book enlightening and explaining why I’m doing the things I’m doing now in my life. I recommend it to anyone seeking to understand why they're on the path they're on in their lives.

Reading again for the 3rd time!!!

These timeless messages take practice and study. This is how I want to live, this time I'm listening to the book one chapter a day. letting each chapter soak in, taking notes, and finding ways to practice. Enlightenment and peace seem so elusive in the 21st century, and so I read... and read.... and read more, just trying to find a little comfort in the chaos, I originally picked up the Tao Te Ching about 20 years ago, I was maybe 15 or 16- I'm so glad Wayne Dyer put the work into the translation- and he read many other translations- it was a little over my head at the time, even for an anxious over-achiever! This book has been incredibly helpful, as are Dr. Dyer's other works*

Daily Taoist meditations transform my life.

Always a Pleasure to Listen to Wayne

If you could sum up Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life in three words, what would they be?

I was thrilled when I found this book on Audible because Wayne would be reading in his own voice, so the ideas would really feel present. I listen to this book everyday as I drive to work. It has changed how I start my day and how I interact with others. Great read; great listen!
