Tao Te Ching by Laozi
5.0
After leaving my original faith I'd never really felt any other religion or philosophy really click for me. I was raised LDS/Mormon and essentially researched my way out after studying the history of that church and found myself doing the same for most faiths I learned about.
But there's something about the Tao Te Ching that just spoke to me. A profound simplicity that speaks to something I've always known, but could never describe. Which after all is the very first line, "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao". The Tao Te Ching is a fascinating attempt to describe the indescribable, and point to a way of living that promotes harmony with all those we live with, including the earth itself.
It may not be for everyone, but If you're at all interested in one of the principal works of eastern philosophy, I think its worth giving a shot.
