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.”

Great Book
Easy to read and very insightful. I would recommend to read one verse a day and reflect on the message of the day.
You will benefit more if you keep an open mind.
The Menu For Peace
There are not many books written today that actually give you a blueprint and a spiritual menu of verses that can change your thinking and your life. Author and lecturer, Dr. Wayne Dryer, continues to give readers illuminating and entertaining literary works. His newest book "Change Your Thoughts change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao" is all one might need to build a true foundation of spiritual and emotional health.
He tackles life by showing us the real wisdom of the Tao in today's social environment. He makes a wonderful case that shows how this wisdom is still just as valid in our lives today as it was hundreds of years ago. This book is about old ideas that never grow out of date - that is real wisdom!
I believe the best way to read this book is to savor it like a rich food - digesting just a chapter a day. The ideas seem so simple at first but they carry so much energy. If one truly took all that this book presented as their personal spiritual quest they would surely be better and more compassionate people, if not enlightened.
I think the power of what is in the Tao that he quotes and interrupts is in how each person will resonate with different verses and thoughts. This book cuts across all of life and is not just a book but could become a way of living.
The book is well written and made even more interesting by the interjection of Dr. Dyer's personality. It is a good combination that may transform the reader. What more could you ask of any self-improvement book.
Have the courage to change!
Dr. Dyer clearly and simply explains each small step suggested. Very "easy" to listen to his voice on the CD's. CD's make it easy to stop at chapter endings and take in each suggestion and its ramifications before going on to the next one. That your thoughts strongly affect your life and health is a well accepted fact by now - and the suggestions from Dr. Dyer for living the simplicity and wisdom of the Tao enhanced my own faith - did not conflict with it. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
