Stephen Mitchell has done a tremendous job in his translation. The physical book is a nice, crisp paperback. Review: Wonderful Book! - If you like Stephen Mitchell's translation of the Tao Te Ching, this is an excellent buy. I find Mitchell's translation to be simple and yet very eloquent. It does not feel like a 'westernized' translation, nor does it feel incomprehensible. This book is really beautiful. Before buying it, I thought it might be too plain, or utilitarian when I saw the gray cover. Upon getting the book and opening it, I was very pleased. The pages are a creamy colour with beautiful numbering of the 'chapters' in red at the top of each page. The spacing of words and verses in the book make it very attractive and accessible for a short reading session or reading through the entire book in a single sitting. Ultimately, my notes above are rather irrelevant to why you might enjoy this book. The Tao Te Ching is a wonderful work of wisdom. It's lessons are beautiful and resonate with one's inner nature. The Tao is one of many sources to draw spiritual instruction and refreshment from. I suggest reading it through many times and meditating on certain parts and see where that takes you. The Tao is priceless, this copy of the Tao Te Ching is excellent value for the price. ## Features - HarperCollins Publishers ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #14,752 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #22 in Religious Poetry #28 in Other Eastern Religions & Sacred Texts #42 in Other Religions, Practices & Sacred Texts | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,511 Reviews | ## Images ![Tao Te Ching: A New English Version - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51XSnT4lAtL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best spiritual text *by J***H on 1 November 2024* This is the text that for me, captures the very essence of life!
