About this audiobook

May you live during interesting times: so goes an ancient Chinese blessingâ€"or some say curse. That wish has come true for us. Now what? In this radically illuminating book, Alan Cohen delves into one of the worldâ€TMs most venerated wisdom texts for answers and brings the lofty and enigmatic concepts of the Tao Te Ching down to earth in fresh, easy-to-grasp language with practical, personal examples we can use to uplift our daily lives. Most other interpretations of the Tao march through the stanzas one by one. Here Alan Cohen calls forth the ancient verses around themes that are central to our modern livesâ€"from love to work to the lessons we learn from pain. Then he brings each message to life in short vignettes where he imagines himself a student of Lao Tse and interacts with the master directly and intimately. He invites you to join the ancient sage and the contemporary seeker as they wend their way through the challenges and triumphs of the same journey youâ€TMre taking yourself.
