Great read!55
Beautiful Wisdom in this book55
All I can say is this book gives you a lot to think about. It’s beauty is in it’s simplicity. Be like water and go with the flow!55
In this version, there is to much editoralizing on the part of the translator. I would prefer, to have a transliteration of the Chinese. The writing of Lazu Tzu, and it simplicity ends up being color/misrepresented by the translator. This noted, I would be guilty of the same, perhaps if I was doing the translating.25
I love this book. It is filled with wisdom of the ages.55
Compared this translation with others and it doesn’t allow the book to come through with all the intention in messaging25
If your looking for uplifting information on spiritual healing an insight on self then read this book55
It has some parts that are a bit beyond me, ( as I’m only 18 lol). So at times it can be hard to grasp. But of what I understood, it was beautiful & intriguing. If you came as far as reading these comments, I suggest you read this.55
I could barley call this a translation.15
Plenty of wisdom!55
