About this listen

May you live during interesting times: so goes an ancient Chinese blessing - or some say curse. That wish has come true for us. Now what?

In this radically illuminating audiobook, Alan Cohen delves into one of the world’s most venerated wisdom texts for answers and brings the lofty and enigmatic concepts of the Tao Te Ching down to earth in fresh, easy-to-grasp language with practical, personal examples we can use to uplift our daily lives.

Most other interpretations of the Tao march through the stanzas one by one. Here Alan Cohen calls forth the ancient verses around themes that are central to our modern lives - from love to work to the lessons we learn from pain. Then he brings each message to life in short vignettes where he imagines himself a student of Lao Tse and interacts with the master directly and intimately.

He invites you to join the ancient sage and the contemporary seeker as they wend their way through the challenges and triumphs of the same journey you’re taking yourself.

insightful

It took time for me to get into this book but I think it was more the fact that I wasn't ready to take on the content. Once I tuned in with more intent I began to listen to it religiously everyday. It revealed so much about human nature, relationships, struggles.... life. A fantastic insight to Tao. A book that will continue to reveal more with each read. Highly recommended. Narrator delivered perfectly.

A good place to start learning about Taoism

For someone just beginning to learn about this fascinating and thought provoking ancient philosophy, I found this to be a lovely, gentle lead into the subject. It has definitely wet my appetite to learn more about the Tao Te Ching.

Beautiful

This book brings traditional thinking into the modern world beautifully. Very relatable and have already been thinking about things in a different (and calmer) way.
