The wisdom of the Tao, made clear and accessible for the modern reader.

Wang Bi's insights illuminate the Tao as a living experience. Clear, contemplative, and beautifully designed, this edition featuring 5 contemplative meditations is ideal for first-time readers. Whether read slowly as a daily meditation or studied in depth, the Tao Te Ching remains a guide for those seeking to live with wisdom, compassion, and clarity in a changing world.
