Tao Te Ching by Stephen Mitchell & Lao Tzu Book Summary

The bestselling, widely acclaimed translation from Stephen Mitchell

"Mitchell's rendition of the Tao Te Ching comes as close to being definitive for our time as any I can imagine. It embodies the virtues its translator credits to the Chinese original: a gemlike lucidity that is radiant with humor, grace, largeheartedness, and deep wisdom." — Huston Smith, author of The Religions of Man

In eighty-one brief chapters, Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, provides advice that imparts balance and perspective, a serene and generous spirit, and teaches us how to work for the good with the effortless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao—the basic principle of the universe.

lots of unneded blank pages. I have the physical version of this book; I bought the e-copy as well. I was dissaporinted because it is a very literal transfer of the book -- there is at least one, and often two unnneded blank pages between every verse. That becomes tedious on a small screen very fast...

Memorized it. Incredible book. Best translation of the Tao.

The best interpretation of the Tao Te Ching. Stephen Mitchell has, in my opinion, the most eloquent, reliable, and consistent interpretation of the Tao Te Ching! I've been reading and studying this great text since 1996, and have read over 30 interpretations. I continue to return to the Mitchell translation. However, reading any translation of this great body of work will improve your life substantially. Therefore, this is the best translation of one of the best books ever written.

Life altering. This very short, very old book, has changed many lives. All those 'self help' books in one way or another borrow from the Tao. Read the source.

It is beautiful but flawed. I enjoyed the audio version very much. Due to the interpreter’s knowledge of Chinese language and culture, or the lack of them, some chapters are so beautifully translated that they not only sound like music but also deepen my understanding of this great book (e.g. Chapter 11), some, though quite diverted from the original meaning (e.g. Chapter 25 and Chapter 36), are still wise in themselves, and the others, (e.g. Chapter 50), are completely misunderstood and therefore the opposite to what Laotzu tries to teach... The translator is great and sincere in sharing his feelings and experience of reading this script, but, alas, his experience is biased and incomplete in many aspects...

Wonderful. A very thoughtful translation and a very engaging book. I highly recommend it.

A fortune cookie that overstays it’s welcome.. The translation was fine. The parables were fine. The message and lessons work. I suppose I was hoping for more than a series of statements that you’d find embroidered on a pillow. Not to denigrate the Taoist belief, which I whole-heartedly embrace, but I was hoping for a bit more in the way of some practical application of the text.

Mitchell’s Qualifications. I have read no other translation but Mitchell’s and I believe this one to be divinely inspired. Like all spiritual texts, it must be treated as a living document - entrusted with all the wisdom of the sages previous and future, for it is also timeless, and only a teacher who has devoted years to a contemplative way of living will have the intelligence and heart necessary to broaden its appeal and clarify it’s call for individuals to honor that “indivisibility” and look inside themselves to “change the[ir] world”.
