Publisher's summary

The 20th anniversary edition of William Martin’s free-verse interpretation of the Tao Te Ching, written expressly for those coming into the fullness of their wisdom.

Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching reminds its listeners that the sage has been venerated in China for thousands of years. Twenty years ago, William Martin, subtly and powerfully, captured the complex emotions connected with growing older in this free-verse interpretation of the Tao. His words resonate just as much now, encouraging today’s sages to recognize their inestimable worth in a youth-centric world that often goes astray. 

“If there is to be a transformation, it will be the sages among us who will show the way. The elders, the wisewomen, the shamans, the grandmothers, and the grandfathers will provide the guidance, for they have undergone the necessary initiations...and emerged into the spaciousness of simplicity, freedom, and joy".

This title is skillfully narrated by Mike Fraser, an Audible listener favorite. Listeners of Sage's Tao Te Ching may also enjoy the audio editions of Couple's Tao Te Ching and Parent's Tao Te Ching, also narrated by Mike Fraser. This audiobook includes a selection of brief teachings from the author.
