The Tao te Ching of Lao Tzu by Brian Browne Walker

challenging inspiring reflective slow-paced

3.5

Funny enough I was brought here by a video about Kung Fu Panda. I was curious about the general belief system of Tao and this seemed to be a good place to start. I can't speak to the translation quality, as I can't read the original text, but it seemed like it got the ideas across. I would have loved to see little footnotes and such here and there with historical notes or clarification on some of the more cryptic ideas, but while I won't be following Taoism to a T, it definitely holds lessons that I think we could all take to heart, mostly that not everything can be forced into place, we need to let the natural flow of things, well, flow a little.
