Excellent book! Teaches the basics of the spirituality of Taoism, and teaching one how to live in balance and harmoney with self, nature, and cosmos. Simple to read and follow, some words of wisdom needs to be lightly meditated on, if not little deeper. If one is very wise, one should have no problem understanding the words of wisdom. For those wanting to cultivate wisdom, not just spiritual being and living, this is the right book for those seekers.

This book offers even more than I expected. The explanations of the chinese characters add a dimension I have not found in similar books. The material is separated into useful and meaningful categories, allowing me to chose my reflection for the day. I highly recommend this for daily reflection for anyone interesting in Tao.

In my opinion, this book, along with its counterpart 365 Tao: Daily Meditations, distills and presents the essence of Taoist thought better than anything else I've read; you get the Taoist insights which matter, not scholarly trivia. In fact, I would rank these two books even higher than the Tao Te Ching and other Taoist classics. As I read these books, I was repeatedly stunned by the profoundness of the ideas and the remarkably graceful beauty with which they're presented. In other words, I'm trying to say that these books are perhaps best viewed as genuine sacred texts for our times, not merely books.

Obviously, my rating is 5 stars, and I can't recommend these books highly enough. In addition to these books, I also highly recommend Zen Guitar and 50 Spiritual Classics: Timeless Wisdom from 50 Great Books on Inner Discovery, Enlightenment and Purpose for those who are interested in spiritual growth without being tied to any particular religious doctrine.

I keep buying this book, then giving it away, I like it so much.
Simple and profound, the Tao's wisdom is presented in an interesting, easy manner.

This is a really good starter book for daily reflections on Tao. The reflections are short, and easily understood, and even for people who are not that familiar with Tao, it's easy to understand the wisdom of the author.
