About this ebook
This book contains the 37 most important and interesting chapters of the 81 in the Tao Te Ching. The selected chapters cover Lao Tzu's philosophical and spiritual concepts. The chapters not selected are mostly political and social.
This version stays close to the original text of Tao Te Ching. The goal is to convey LaoTzu's thoughts clearly and coherently to a 21st century reader. No added comments or notes are necessary.
This translation is actually new, written in 2020. The language is idiomatic American english.
People say my Tao teaching is great, but it's strange.
Being strange is what makes it great.
If it's familiar, it's not worth much.
- Lao Tzu, chapter 67
