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."

Great inspiration put into modern times

Spot on Dr. Dyer! If followed, it's true - your life does change when you change your thoughts, to the positive, being flexible yet balanced, I've listened to the 81 verses 3 times and put to use in my everyday life. It doesn't matter how ancient the verses are if put to use in today's era, it works! You will feel lifted and less stressed. Do the Tao.

Awesome!

This book is a great way to get to know the Dao De Jing or tao te ching, however it's spelled. I have listened to several of Dr. Dyer's works, and I think that this is up there with the best. It's a great real world explanation of the Dao for folks that are looking for a little different perspective on life. I think he does a good job of bringing the "Eastern" philosophy to the "Western" mind. Some of his suggestions may seem a bit pollyanna, but that is his nature.

Tao Te Ching

Excellent book, Thank you Wayne.
From your erroneous zones (I was 19 years old) up until now (41) your books have guided me to a more joyous and inner confident life. This book is a great translation and explanation , of a book I had in my book shelf but never read, but now I'm reading the 81 verses as I listen to your explanation for each verse. Awesome work in my humble opinion.
