Synopsis
Five hundred years before the birth of Jesus, a God-realized being named Lao-tzu in ancient China dictated 81 verses, which are regarded by many as the ultimate commentary on the nature of our existence. The classic text of these 81 verses, called the Tao Te Ching or the Great Way, offers advice and guidance that is balanced, moral, spiritual, and always concerned with working for the good.
In this book, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer has reviewed hundreds of translations of the Tao Te Ching and has written 81 distinct essays on how to apply the ancient wisdom of Lao-tzu to today’s modern world. This work contains the entire 81 verses of the Tao, compiled from Wayne’s researching of 10 of the most well-respected translations of text that have survived for more than 25 centuries. Each chapter is designed for actually living the Tao or the Great Way today. Some of the chapter titles are “Living with Flexibility,” “Living Without Enemies,” and “Living by Letting Go.” Each of the 81 brief chapters focuses on living the Tao and concludes with a section called “Doing the Tao Now.”
Wayne spent one entire year reading, researching, and meditating on Lao-tzu’s messages, practicing them each day and ultimately writing down these essays as he felt Lao-tzu wanted you to know them.
This is a work to be read slowly, one essay a day. As Wayne says, “This is a book that will forever change the way you look at your life, and the result will be that you’ll live in a new world aligned with nature. Writing this book changed me forever, too. I now live in accord with the natural world and feel the greatest senseof peace I’ve ever experienced. I’m so proud to present this interpretation of the Tao Te Ching, and offer the same opportunity for change that it has brought me.”

August 20, 2009: Tao Te Ching, the "Great Way," contains the 81 verses of Lao-tzu, a Chinese philosopher (604 BCE - 531 BCE). Wayne Dyer spent the better part of a year researching translations of Lao-tzu's verses and has compiled them in a magnificent book where he speaks of the modern-day application of each of Lao-tzu's teachings. One of Lao-tzu's most famous teachings is, "The journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step," or "...begins beneath one's feet," depending on which translation you read. The book is profound, moving, and is meant to be read and savored over time. Dyer has been writing about all things transformational for many years and not only does this book not disappoint, it may very well be the hallmark of his work. Chapters are titled "Living by Letting Go," "Living Untroubled by Good or Bad Fortune," "Living in Wholeness." In the world we inhabit today, these are words to live by.
