Book Description  
A practical guide to the mystical and a mystical guide to the practical, this book results from a painstaking comparison of thirty editions of the Tao te Ching. The chapters of the ancient original work, synthesized from the author's comparisons, are each followed by detailed paraphrases. These explain the Tao more clearly, yet retain the shrouded truth of the original. Particular emphasis is placed upon the philosophy's applications to love, work, parenting, and everyday situations. Stimulate your thinking and learn practical application of Taoist principles; find the natural accord between your body and mind.
