Product Description
In this book, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer has reviewed hundreds of translations of the Tao Te Ching and has written 81 distinct essays on how to apply the ancient wisdom of Lao-tzu to today’s modern world. This work contains the entire 81 verses of the Tao, compiled from Wayne’s researching of 12 of the most well-respected translations of text that have survived for more than 25 centuries. Each chapter is designed for actually living the Tao or the Great Way today. Some of the chapter titles are “Living with Flexibility,” “Living Without Enemies,” and “Living by Letting Go.” Each of the 81 brief chapters focuses on living the Tao and concludes with a section called “Doing the Tao Now.”
Wayne spent one entire year reading, researching, and meditating on Lao-tzu’s messages, practicing them each day and ultimately writing down these essays as he felt Lao-tzu wanted you to know them.
This is a work to be read slowly, one essay a day. As Wayne says, “This is a book that will forever change the way you look at your life, and the result will be that you’ll live in a new world aligned with nature. Writing this book changed me forever, too. I now live in accord with the natural world and feel the greatest sense of peace I’ve ever experienced. I’m so proud to present this interpretation of the Tao Te Ching, and offer the same opportunity for change that it has brought me.”

More Of The Same
You know, I'll admit it's fun to read, (I enjoy thought provoking anything) but at the same time you kinda wanna tear the cover off so that nobody catches you reading Wayne Dyer. Books on enlightenment are almost as socially incriminating as self-help... but we love it, don't we?
(As though some fellow wearing a grass hat 2500 years ago had some secret knowledge or insight that you need.)
However, and by contrast, to recognize that, what were pearls of wisdom for people on the other side of the planet, centuries ago, are still gems of thought for those of us here today, is certainly evidence of something. Even if it's only evidence of, "Oh, I guess that existential hole in my understanding is common to all people, throughout time!"
Anyway, Dr. Dyer is an accomplished and respected writer, and he delivers a good look at this material, and it's enjoyable to read, and ponder, and you know... one day you'll recognize that you'll always feel as you do, but that's OK, because everyone else feels that way too.
If you're at all interested in or curious about the Tao, this is an excellent book. I'm glad I bought it.
Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao - Dr. Wayne Dyer
Anything by Dr. Dyer is worth purchasing. His books are easy to read and contain so much wisdom for going through life through the chaos that surrounds us without letting that chaos enter and destroy our own "space". I bought this book for my significant other, a person who tends to be a worrier and live in chaos, and the change in his calmness and ability to let others' chaos flow around him without letting it affect him has been a wonderful blessing.
Change Your Thoughts Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao
This book has changed everything and every thought I now have. I read a verse each night and then the same one the next morning. Each day I am amazed at differences I now see in myself and in the "world of the ten thousand things".
Dr. Dyer has the insight to explain this 2500 year old work in a way that let's the reader relate to their modern everyday life.
When I get to the end I will begin again. Always returning to the beginning...
