Five hundred years before the birth of Jesus, a God-realized being named Lao-tzu
in ancient China dictated 81 verses, which are regarded by many as the ultimate
commentary on the nature of our existence. The classic text of these 81 verses,
called the Tao Te Ching or the Great Way, offers advice and guidance that is
balanced, moral, spiritual, and always concerned with working for the good.In
this book, Dr. Dyer reviews hundreds of translations of the Tao Te Ching, or the
Great Way, and writes 81 distinct essays on how to apply the ancient wisdom of
Lao-tzu to today's modern world.
