| 1. |  | Tao Te Ching: A New English Version (Perennial Classics) from Harper Perennial Modern Classics Price: $5.94 Customer Review:  Having read dozens of translations I have to say I agree with those in the clarity over scholarship camp. As a Tai Chi practitioner, I'm extremely interested in the Taoist classics, and how they inform us on a practical level. Steven's rendering, while admittedly not a direct translation, does a... |

| 2. |  | Tao Te Ching: The New Translation from Tao Te Ching: The Definitive Edition (Tarcher Cornerstone Editions) from Tarcher Price: $5.00 Customer Review: For English speakers, the Tao Te Ching can be known only through translations. This makes the skill and heart of the translator extremely important. The connotations or context of a Chinese idiom, if literally translated, can confuse or even defeat the true meaning. This edition of the Tao Te Ching... |

| 3. |  | Tao - The Way - Special Edition from El Paso Norte Press Price: $12.50 Customer Review: I read the Tao Te Ching over a decade ago, and to be quite honest, I wasn't all that impressed. It seemed like a really long poem, and I had trouble understanding why something seemingly so simple had been attributed so much wisdom. It certainly wasn't a situation where I read both parts of the Tao... |

| 4. |  | Tao Te Ching from CreateSpace Price: $5.58 Customer Review: this is probably my favorite translation for a gift. this book is an especially nice "way" to introduce the Tao to someone new to ancient Chinese philosophy. this time i ordered from Amazon and i think it must have been sent by water buffalo, as it arrived much later than anticipated .... but then,... |

| 5. |  | Tao Te Ching from Hackett Publishers Price: $6.31 Customer Review:  "Moves without teaching." This translation appears in the Section 2. But the true meaning in the original text is "Teaches without speaking." This is no doubt. |

| 6. |  | Tao Te Ching (Skylight Illuminations) from Skylight Paths Publishing Customer Review: Readable and, I believe, credible new translation of this work. The 4 stars are, of course, not really for the Tao Te Ching itself, but this particular version. At times, I wished the author had provided more scholarly and in-depth notes to accompany it. Listening to some podcasts I found of public... |

| 8. |  | Tao Te Ching: The Definitive Edition from Tarcher Price: $5.79 Customer Review: I don't identify myself as a Taoist, Buddhist, or anything else, but this simple book, that can be read in under an hour, is one of the most brilliant and inspiring texts I've ever read. Says more in 81 short verses than most authors could manage in 1000 pages. |

| 9. |  | Tao Te Ching from Penguin Publishing Customer Review: Said to be the defining book of the Taoist philosophy. I'm still wondering how and where exactly to place this work; It's short and talks about the Way, ethics, politics and government, guide to living (actually surviving) and a touch of cosmogony. It advices you to follow the Way and the Way,... |

| 10. |  | Lao Tzu : Tao Te Ching : A Book About the Way and the Power of the Way from Shambhala Price: $5.94 Customer Review: This book represents, not another translation of what must be one of the most translated books in existence, but rather the careful reworking of it, by one of America's excellent writers. Ursula Le Guin is well known for her literary achievements. With this small volume she takes the first steps on... |

| 11. |  | Tao Teh Ching from Shambhala Price: $4.22 Customer Review: I am ultra sensitive to translations, so I compared about a half dozen for this important work. Of all that I have read, this is by far the most "true" translation I have read. It is the one I recommend. |

| 12. |  | The Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu from St. Martin's Griffin Price: $6.12 Customer Review: I find his version easy to read, easy to understand. I recommend it to everyone. |

| 13. |  | Tao Te Ching from Digireads.com Price: $3.95 Customer Review:  This is a long interpretation of the Tao Te Ching, not a simple straightforward translation. For a very clean, elegant and clear translation, I thoroughly recommend "Tao Te Ching (Kindle Edition) by Burton Watson" instead - see Tao Te Ching (Burton Watson translation for Kindle) |

| 14. |  | Lao-tzu's Taoteching from Copper Canyon Press Price: $10.42 Customer Review: I've been reading translations of the Taoteching since I was twelve years old. No text has resonated more with my intimate experience of the natural world. In the verses of the Taoteching I found a philosophy that matched the depth and wonder I experienced while wandering for uncounted hours through... |

| 15. |  | Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching (Asian Institute Translations) from Shambhala Price: $89.97 Customer Review: The Tao Te Ching is not a manual for leadership, but rather, a description of all existence condensed into one philosophical work. It is, basically, a poetic discourse on the nature of "The Dao," nothing more. It should not be interpreted as a leadership manual. Even though it states what an ideal... |

| 16. |  | The Tao of Power from HarperCollins Publishers Ltd Customer Review: Provides an excellent groundwork for anyone in business or technology. Very practical, with lots of historical information to keep it interesting. I just pick it up every once in awhile and flip to a new page. Great brain food! |

| 17. |  | The Tao of Personal Leadership from Harper Paperbacks Price: $7.78 Customer Review: The author, Diane Dreher, apparently has some interesting credentials: Chair of an English Department, aikido practitioner, spiritual counselor, and holistic health counselor. I think that this background goes a long way toward explaining why this is an excellent book on personal leadership, and... |

| 18. | [no image] | The Tao Te Ching: A New Translation With Commentary from Paragon House Publishers Customer Review: Although the "Tao Te Ching" isn't a work of philosophy, it's often treated as a work of philosophy. And it's not a religious work either, even though that's how publisher Paragon House classified it. Those interested in the "Tao Te Ching" as it's viewed within its native culture will find Ellen... |

| 19. |  | Tao Te Ching from Bantam Price: $5.24 Customer Review: Author claims to base his rearrangement of sections of the Tao Te Ching on earlier texts than usually used. His translation and rearrangement have taken me places I did not quite reach before and I am grateful for his efforts. Lovers of the Tao will find his approach well worth adding to their... |

| 20. |  | The Sayings of Lao Tzu from Wilder Publications Price: $4.84 Customer Review: For starters, there was no person, Lao Tzu, no one knows how "his" name was spelled, nor can the experts agree on the correct title of "his" work. Is it Tao te Ching? Tao teh King? No one knows. The Tao te Ching is a collection of aphorisms, little bits of wisdom collected by, arguably, many... |

| 21. |  | Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching: A Translation of the Startling New Documents Found at Guodian (Translations from the Asian Classics) from Columbia University Press Price: $20.00 Customer Review: This translation of the oldest known version of Daodejing is fascinating. I've read dozens of translations of the modern versions and the same author's translation of the Mah-Wang-Dui text of the Daodejing, and this one gives another exhilarating glimpse into the evolution of a seminal book in world... |

| 24. |  | Tao Te Ching: An All-New Translation from Kodansha International Price: $11.57 Customer Review: You'll be very surprised to find that this isn't just 'yet another boring translation' of an ancient Chinese text. As perfectly described above in the synopsis, William Scott Wilson has added two extra interesting & highly relevant chapters on "Zen and Taoism" and "Zen and the Martial Arts". |

| 26. |  | Wen-Tzu (Shambhala Dragon Editions) from Shambhala Price: $7.86 Customer Review: For most Taoists, the Tao Te Ching (TTC) is the foundational document. It addresses the fundamental issues of life within the confines of 81 poetical verses. I believe the Wen-Tzu should occupy equal status with the TTC! While it retains some of the same lyrical qualities, it provides far more... |

| 27. |  | The Way and Its Power: Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching and Its Place in Chinese Thought (UNESCO collection of representative works) from Grove Press Price: $7.95 Customer Review: I read this book in graduate school where I was studying religion and ethics, with a particular interest in Taoism. There are many translations of the Tao Te Ching, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. The strength of Waley's translation is the enlightening footnotes to each chapter. He... |
