Tao Te Ching18 reviews
Lao-Tzu, Burton Watson
Hackett Publishers, 1993
pristine translation
I was very impressed with this version of the Tao Te Ching...it avoided modern-day vernacular and felt much closer to the original text. Furthermore, the translator's addition of lines of the text in Chinese (as well as the glossary of Chinese characters in the back) helps readers see how the translator came up with the right words for the book. 5 stars

The Art of War15 reviews
Sun Tzu
Shambhala, 2005
Classic on the priciples of war
This ancient classic of 13 chapters was written over 2,500 years ago by the legendary Chinese general Sun Tzu. It is a must have for military buffs that enjoy reading about the tactics of the most succesful generals. It is rumored that Napoleon used a French translation of the Art of War to his advantage while conquering most of Europe, and he lost when he broke its principles.

Tao Te Ching (Skylight Illuminations) 17 reviews
Lao Tzu, Derek Lin
Skylight Paths Publishing, 2006
The best
Derek Lin's translation and explainations allow one to follow the text more easily then most interpretations.
I have read several translations and find this one to be the most succinct.
The layout of the text also helps to simplify the read. All in all, just a fine work that anyone interested in the Tao Te Ching should read.

Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings9 reviews
Columbia University Press, 1996
Becoming a Chuang Tzu enthusiast.
Anyone who may be coming to Chuang Tzu for the first time is in for a treat. Although Chuang Tzu is sometimes described as the most brilliant of all Chinese philosophers, what we find in him isn't what we normally understand by 'Philosophy' and isn't technical at all. His appeal is not so much to the intellect as to the imagination, and he chose as a vehicle for his philosophical insights, ...

Lao Tzu : Tao Te Ching : A Book About the Way and the Power of the Way26 reviews
Ursula K. Le Guin, Lao Tzu
Shambhala, 1998
A translation that maintains the heart and soul of the Master
Ursula le Guin captured the essence and poetry of the original without losing the focus and foresight of the original. Long one of my favorite fiction writers, le Guin drew on her ability to envision different worlds and exotic cultures to bring the words of an ancient Chinese philosopher into the 21st Century.
Many translations of the Tao Te Ching are on the market, few worth the paper ...

The key to strategic thinking!
This book is a must read for the stragic thinker (or wanna be strategic thinker). I read this with the intention of applying the strategic principles to my poker game and was pretty pleased at how easy it was to do so. I expect to improve my game drastically after reading this and expect to earn a handsome profit as a result.

The Parent's Tao Te Ching: Ancient Advice for Modern Parents25 reviews
William Martin
Da Capo Press, 1999
Wonderful parenting resource!
In the midst of wrestling with the middle school years, I was looking for a parenting philosophy/approach that came from the heart and which was different from the command/control version I grew up with. This book is excellent if you're open to taking a new approach to interacting with your child and seeking a heart or spirit driven connection.

Tao Te Ching (Penguin Classics)22 reviews
Lao Tzu
Penguin Classics, 1964
"The Way that can be spoken of is not the constant Way..."
TAO TE CHING is ascribed to Lao-Tzu ("The Old Boy"), an approximate contemporary of Confucius, who when asked to summarize his own philosophy, produced this incredible little volume before vanishing into the trackless wastes of central Asia. Long considered by Westerners to be the very essence of Oriental inscrutability, TAO TE CHING attempts to quantify the immeasurable and speak the ineffable. ...

5 star book!
As a women in the midst of working towards changing careers and moving up in the work place, I found this book very useful. This book has made me think about how I present myself at work, what I really want to do with my life, and what I need to do to get there. This book is not at all about feel-good, mushy things, it has us look at our strengths and weaknesses and strategize to succeed. I ...

Tao Te Ching: The New Translation from Tao Te Ching: The Definitive Edition (Tarcher Cornerstone Editions)1 review
Lao Tzu
Tarcher, 2008
Poetic Tao
This is a beautiful version of the Tao Te Ching, most well understood when read alongside a more literal translation. This one is a bit more modern & poetic than a starker literal translation, but when read together the deeper meanings come through.

The Tao of Leadership: Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching Adapted for a New Age19 reviews
John Heider
Humanics Publishing Group, 2005
Life Changing
This is perhaps one of the best 5 books I've ever read. Unlike typical leadership books, this one reads like a poem on each page. A short poem, rich with meaning that resonates as true.
An example - the leader's job is not to direct, but to be as quiet as a guest. What? We are all taught that the leader is a cigar-chomping, machine-gun totin', square jaw, take-no-prisoners type. Right? The Toa ...
