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.

Thin Paper
Lovely cover and well-assembled, but the paper is so thin the words on the other side are visible through the page. Also, it’s printed upside down. The content is wonderful, it is a book I recommend to read, but hopefully future editions will have heavier paper stock.

A simple book for living
Simple, transformative and coined in beautiful poetry. Wisdom distilled in pure simple form. This is a pocket book for the living. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to take a new approach to living.

Mildly difficult translation
Better off finding a PDF online or going to the local library. I find this translation hard to read

Beautiful
Beautiful book. Cover is really nice.

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 translation is terrible, dont buy this one!
Didymus –
A timeless classic. If you don’t know the way of the Tao, get yourself in this reading. It’ sime, yet sophisticated and when you get it you will come back for more and “unget it”. So is the way of the Tao 🙂
