The Wisdom of the Tao: Ancient Stories that Delight, Inform, and Inspire

Beautiful book. I had read another book by the author (chronicles of Tao) which is a masterpiece. I bought this book inspired by that book. This book is very beautiful and contains short inspiring stories which pack a ton of wisdom.

I am working towards understaning; read, think, read, think, read again, then think and live.As a "story book", occassionally something seems to be lost in the translation so that the point or lesson is difficult to retrieve. But I guess you can also find your way with your own interpretation.

Giving up on this book less than half way through. Some of the entries are interesting, some confusing, and some plain silly. I have read several versions of the Tao Te Ching, each of which contain more wisdom than this book. It is like the author ran out of profound material. I don't believe the positive reviews are authentic.

This book feeds my soul. It is a must read guide!

I couldn't finish the book. That has only happen to me twice in 60 years! It so boring I was going to use it for a spelling pill. But I kept throwing it against the wall. Wondering if it would ever get better. I gave up and trash it.

Not a definitive text, but an interesting take on an old friend.

Great information about Taoism

excellent writings, a good read!

Very unoriginal, a mere copy of some stories of lie tse and chuang tse. I do not recommend it at all.
