The Path and Its Power

Very few books from Asia have been translated more frequently than Lao Zi's Dao De Jing. His philosophy seems to be a perennial favorite with Americans. Nevertheless, readers often find translations wildly at variance with one another and sometimes difficult to understand. The Path and Its Power does not pretend to be yet one more translation. Rather it is a total restatement of the Dao De Jing, as though Lao Zi had been reborn to speak anew to the 21st Century. The author uses 81 short readable poems to restate his message for the present day.
