Tao te Ching
Lao Tzu
Tarcher, 2003
Good Translation
I did a lot of research ahead of time. I'm not an expert on Taoism or this book, but I do have a background in studying ancient works. Translation is very important.
One of the big reasons I bought this is because as I was reading the verses, I kept having "aha" ...

Tao Te Ching
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) ...

Tao Te Ching (Penguin Classics)
Lao Tzu
Penguin Classics, 1964
Kick the New Age right out of your DDJ...
I love this translation. Not so much for the translation but for the introduction in the original edition. Lau was really the first critic of the traditional story of Laozi and the Dao De Jing to bring it to the English masses. The DDJ is a composite work, not the ...

Tao Te Ching: A New English Version (Perennial Classics)
Lao Tzu
Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2006
BEWARE OF CLUELESS REVIEWERS!
The naysaying reviewers did not bother to read this book through. Nowhere does it claim to be a literal translation, and following the lessons are the author's notes, explaining exactly what he did or didn't add, and why, as well as references to what was replaced ...

The Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu
Lao Tzu, Brian Browne Walker
St. Martin's Griffin, 1996
Among the Best
This is one of my favorite translations of the Tao Te Ching. However, note that, like the author says, this is by no means a strict translation (athough in the case of the Tao Te Ching, there are so many varied translations / interpretations available that it is ...

Tao Te Ching: The New Translation from Tao Te Ching: The Definitive Edition (Tarcher Cornerstone Editions)
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.

Tao Te Ching (Barnes & Noble Classics)
Lao Tzu
Barnes & Noble Classics, 2005
The Perfect Book that can be reviewed is not the Perfect Book!
This was the first time I ever studied the classic of philosophy, the 'Tao Te Ching.' The notes by Yi-Ping Ong are exceedingly helpful, especially considering that I am a silly Westerner that is positively ignorant about Chinese history and culture. Her introduction ...

Tao Te Ching
Lao Tzu
Bantam, 1990
I enjoy this throughly.
Over the course of the last 15 years or so I've seen maybe six English translations of the Tao Te Ching, including those of Red Pine and Henricks. I'm not qualified to speak to the accuracy of Mair's effort, but I have found it to be far and away the most poetic and ...

The Tao Te Ching: 81 Verses by Lao Tzu with Introduction and Commentary (Sacred Wisdom)
Lao Tzu

Excellent
This is a beautiful and excellent translation with some brief but insightful commentary that seems to focus on how we should apply "The Great Integrity" to solve problems in the modern world. Don't let the price or the cover fool you; this is a worthy translation!

The Tao of Personal Leadership
Diane Dreher, Lao Tzu
Collins Business, 1997
The Tao of Personal Leadership
This book covers everthing "Dialogue" doesn't and then some. This is a 'whole' person description of your part of society and this kind of learning is missed in the American Schools. I highly recommend it-It's also understandable so that you can write about it and ...

Lao Tzu : Tao Te Ching : A Book About the Way and the Power of the Way
Ursula K. Le Guin, Lao Tzu
Shambhala, 1998
Excellent!
One great way for non-Chinese speakers to appreciate the nature of this book is to compare many different translations and see how different they can be. I've read any number of translations of the Dao De Jing, and this is by far my favorite. Most of them tend to be ...
