Reviews

  • Original is Great, Editing is Lacking

    This short book has more typos than I've seen in years of reading. It seems that it was probably automatically digitized using OCR and some things got lost (like "in" becoming "m"). So Tao Te Ching gets 5-stars, this edition gets 3.

  • Terrible Translation

    This is one of the worst translations I’ve read. I found Christian overtones seeping through. Deleted the book. Ugh.

    “Knowledge of the Tao, how vast! I am like a sailor far beyond a place of anchorage, adrift on a boundless ocean. Common people are useful, I am awkward. I stand in contrast to them--but oh, the prize I seek is food from our Mother Tao!”

  • Interesting.

    I liked the book. Some chapters resonated with me, while other chapters left me feeling confused or curious.
