More DescriptionThe Tao Te Ching is believed to have been written in China during the 6th Century BCE by the legendary philosopher named Lao-tzu (Old Master). Divided into 81 sections, or chapters, the book contains insights into subjects as diverse as the nature of reality and how governments should lead their people. However, it is also concerned with providing practical advice on how one can become a wise person, or one who is enlightened in the Tao. This new interpretive translation by Robert Brookes brings the work to life in a way that makes it accessible to the lay reader while maintaining the spirit and flow of the original text.
