Description Now in a 20th anniversary edition, this modern-day classic captures the perennial wisdom of the Tao Te Ching for the sages among us Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching is one of the world's most widely read books of wisdom--the cornerstone of Taoism, a pillar of Eastern philosophy, and a reminder to readers of any faith-tradition that they can always choose to live with more awareness and compassion.
William Martin, who studied and taught the Tao for over forty years, has found that each new decade of life has brought him greater understanding of this ancient Way of Integrity--and greater freedom to live out Lao Tzu's vision of selflessness and giving back to society.
In this free-verse interpretation of the Tao Te Ching, Martin powerfully captures the complex emotions of growing older, and encourages today's sages to recognize their worth in a youth-obsessed world that often goes astray.
