Product Description:
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 12 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 sense of 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.”

Right on time, Wayne! This is the book I read so slowly, without rush be-

bought three copies!

Dr. Wayne Dyer reminds readers that they spend much of their lives chasing after things, people, places, and circumstances... because we feel that by finally acquring what we "desire", we will be happy... He shows us how the truth is that it never happens that way. Instead we get tired of all the chasing and get worn out :-) .. Dr. Wayne Dyer reminds us that our true nature is that of the "witness"... If only we can stop all the thinking momentarily and simply step out of our lives and watch our lives, our emotions, our thoughts, and feelings... just witness them without getting involved... then we can see how we are driven by them and how our lives are shaped by our own thoughts and people around us. We finally see how our own thoughts about a situation, a person, a thing, are responsible for our lack of inner Peace. He does not teach us to blame ourselves because blame is not conducive to helping oneself, to growing, and progressing.. rather Dr. Wayne Dyer lovingly brings to our attention how thoughts themselves and people around us have so much control and power over us... Is that the kind of life we want to live? How about if we take responsiblity for our own thoughts, and thereby our own lives, and take back the power from others who control our lives? Imagine the freedom, the peace, and well being in that living.. Live it and experience it.. this is what Dr. Wayne Dyer successfully shows.
We become a product of all of our thoughts and ambitions. Dr. ... Read More

I like Wayne Dyer, he writes some very current books. He is not my favorite author as I sometimes get a bit brain-tied with how he expresses himself. With some thinking though, I've got the message and it's been very useful.
Now this book is lovely. He breaks down the pithy "Tao Te Ching" with 81 little chapters on the wisdom of Lao Tzu. Taoism is based upon the wisdom of Lao Tzu.
What I really like is that the little essays are very digestible and quick to read. One doesn't really feel like racing through the book, which I usually do. Instead I've really enjoyed going over a new verse or two here and there. It's one of those books I feel that one will want to finish, yet is in no hurry to do so. For me a sign of a good book is if it's not picked up in two weeks one still thinks about a quick read of a chapter or two.
Once again I feel Wayne is right on the money with the timing of this book. He's come off the back of the recent, "cosmic law of attraction" and "power of intention" and gone back to an ancient text that is an immortal classic.
The only caveat I will lay down is have a read or listen to Pema Chodron's "good medicine", "meditation", "getting unstuck". One will develop a very quick way to cleanse from self-criticism and enter a purer open mind, embracing all our minds imperfections and realising they are not part of our true being. Then any reference of Wayne's to do this or that will be bypassed and the pure ... Read More
