Larsentil migfor 0 minutter sidenDetaljerI believe that the world would be a better place if everyone lived by the wisdom delivered in books such as "Tao Te Ching", Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations" and Epictetus' "Handbook".I've done some research to find the best version of the Tao Te Ching, and I found that it all depends on what I want to obtain: if I need a straightforward text in modern English, I would go for Stephen Mitchell's version. The text is less poetic, but it's easier to understand. In addition, there are thorough notes explaining what the the original text read. So after all, you do get a full picture of what Lao Tzu wanted to say.James Legge's version is a pearl in all its editorial setup including beautiful images and nice structuring of the text in verses. The language is a bit dated, but it strengthens the feeling of reading something from a different era. The wording is poetic, a bit complex and at times outright unclear, but it's exactly that what leaves space for one's own interpretation and further thinking.Bottomline: Read Legge's version and keep Mitchell's as a reference if and when you need to understand the text in plain language - yet, through the eyes of Mitchell, who has condensed the text to a format, which is sometimes quote far from the "original".

Beautiful spiritual journey
This was my first introduction to Tao Te Ching. I enjoyed reading every verse of this translation. The book never fails to remind me to take a deep breath and reflect/think calmly about whatever I am concerned about in real life. It taught me to let go when possible and see the beauty in spontaneity.Some of the concepts that the book presents are very profound and complex. The use of metaphors certainly helps simplify them. I also think that this translation does a great effort in helping readers understand those concepts. For example, even as a non-native English speaker, I found the language easy to understand, I also liked how the verses were structured and presented, and I appreciated that Sharon Levesque provided a summary of what the main concepts represent. These elements guided my reading as a first time reader, and I highly recommend this translation.

Timeless and profound.
The translation of some chapters seemed a bit verbose and academic. But there is tremendous wisdom in every verse. I will be keeping this close and reading it again soon.

The Tao te Ching is a reflection of actions for peaceful everyday living
If one takes time to meditate on the Tao te Ching they will find it very calming and helpful in resolving everyday problems. This was purchased to replace an old copy I lost in a house fire. It is not the exact translation I was looking for (I did not remember the tranlator's name), but this translator also recognizes the dichotomy of the s/he aspect of the Tao. I highly recommend this book, although this translation,in my opinion, is not as "clear" as some others. By this I mean that some phrases remain obscure and I gain greater clarity from them due to the fact that I have read other translations.

Ancient text and it’s a masterpiece
The Tao Te Ching is an excellent instruction manual, and an intriguing capsule of a very Eastern way to look at life. Everyone should read it at least once. Some memorable quotes:“To know people is wisdom but to know yourself is enlightenment.To master people takes force, but to master yourself takes strength.To know contentment is wealth, and to live with strength resolve”.“The more you do for others, the more plenty is yours,And the more you give to others the more abundance is yours.”

Never received a new product in wors
What a disgusting way to receive a new product (gift) from amazon! Completely disappointing.I’ve read the book before and it’s contents are great, Lao Tzu’s work is marvellous, but what a disrespectful way to deliver a book.
