This book offers you an opportunity to internalize and directly experience the great wisdom of the Tao Te Ching, a collection of verses authored by the Chinese prophet Lao-tzu. “The words Tao Te Ching translate to ‘living and applying the Great Way.’
Although just 81 short verses, the Tao encourages you to change your life by literally changing the way you think. By reading through the verses presented here (which I’ve pieced together after reviewing hundreds of translations)–along with the corresponding affirmation I’ve created for each verse–you’ll be embarking on a path that encompasses the profound ideas that Lao-tzu intended to convey.
“The Tao Te Ching offers you Divine guidance on virtually every area of human existence. It is a new way of thinking in a world that needs to recapture its ancient teachings. Work with the verses and affirmations regularly and you will come to know the truth behind the ancient Tao observation: When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” — Dr. Wayne W. Dyer “

I fully trust that others know what is best for them by Steffan Piper (Palm Desert, CA)

The beauty of this book is that it encapsulates the information in exactly the way the scribes of Lao-tzu had probably imagined. It’s easy on the eyes, nice to hold and fails to bog down, unlike previous editions that I’ve seen that often have twenty page introductions, giant prefaces and essays embedded in the prologue. This offering is void of all the nonsense.
Often, other versions and publications of this text is offered up in a dry and unflattering representation which causes the reader to strain the eye to the page, let alone the mind to the soul. This version gives you some of the most straightforward and fluid translations that I’ve read yet and is beautifully laid-out and well presented.
Dwyer prefaces each verse with a short mantra or prayer version that compliments the following verse very well and lets the mind wander even further along as you read each verse. A brilliant idea and very unassuming. What more can be said about such a book that hasn’t already been uttered?
I am grateful to Dr. Dyer for this book. by Kelly M. Gallagher

I bought this after reading Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life by Dr. Dyer. I adore this book. By reading an excerpt every morning, I am able to consciously set the tone for my day. Touching base with the Tao keeps me aware and conscious of inherent spiritual principles that have gradually altered my entire way of being and have begun healing many of my long-held perceptions about myself and the world around me.
Timely by Robert L. Rose (Bucks County,United States)

I really like this version of a classic wisdom teaching, and I have read many translations and commentaries over the past thirty years. Dyer’s version is beautifully packaged, making it easy to use and to re-use… and just calling out for small-group reflection. I also like that Dr. Dyer has chosen to forego commentary and historical introduction with this rendition, enhancing its appeal for first-time readers of the Tao.
Nicely done!
