By reading through the verses presented here (which I’ve pieced together after reviewing hundreds of translations)—along with the corresponding affirmation I’ve created for each verse—you’ll be embarking on a path that encompasses the profound ideas that Lao-tzu intended to convey. “The Tao Te Ching offers you Divine guidance on virtually every area of human existence. It is a new way of thinking in a world that needs to recapture its ancient teachings. Work with the verses and affirmations regularly and you will come to know the truth behind the ancient Tao observation: When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” — Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

 Living the Wisdom of the TaoAug 23, 2010
Great easy reference especially if you have read Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life by the same author
 A Beautiful, Inspiring BookJul 10, 2010
This book is an excellent translation and compilation of the verses of the Tao. Dr. Dyer does an excellent job distilling the verses into affirmations as well. I do encourage you to first read each verse, and then read the affirmations, as sometimes I get a lot more than the affirmation out of the verse. Reading the affirmation first can limit your interpretation of the actual verse. However, I find the affirmations to be supportive, and as one person mentioned, a way to extend your application of the Tao personally to your life. The book is also aesthetically pleasing with beautiful graphics, and is small enough to carry around. All in all, a great, supportive book to help you live life with more joy and peace.

 Beautiful verses - but only repackagedJun 03, 2010
This nice and very accessible little book filled with verses & wisdom by Lao-tzu was given to me as a gift. For this I am very thankful. I love poetry, I have loved the wisdom of Tao Te Ching for a long time now.
However, I don't quite understand why someone as renowned as Wayne Dyer needs to repackage ancient texts in this way. Amazon shows 1,125 results when searching for Lao-Tzu. So another book just adds to an already very crowded offering on these teachings.

Living in wisdomFeb 11, 2010
Dr. Dyer did a beautiful job of writing his interpretation of the Tao Te Ching and the affirmations that go along with each verse. This book is easy to carry with you everywhere and can change your life thru Lao Tzu's teachings of how to live a simple life of happiness and fulfillment.Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao

 On the Tao bandwagon, Tao de kachingJan 02, 2010
Here is Wayne's foray into the Tao. I really appreciated what Wayne has done. Decades ago when no one was speaking very clearly about inner development Wayne was there. Yep, even made it to big specials on PBS.
In this book Wayne combines a translation of the Tao with some practical, and mostly simple, if not simplistic, viewpoints as to how to orient your life to the wisdom in the Tao. Generally the material is OK.
However, for some years I have felt that Wayne's material has not kept up with where we need to go. Folks can only wander/slog through the self-help stuff until they stop reading what others are saying and really help themselves. For myself and many of my friends self-help was a temporary way point on the path to inner realization. Problem is that Wayne has not evolved his style to get people graduated. Wayne, like others leans heavily on others work (in this case Lao Tze) and repackages it as self-help / new age wares. And I have to say my feedback of this book and Waynes material is that he is sincere but is unable to really support those folks deeply on the path.
Wayne's guru was Sri Siva Baba Dattatreya and Baba is light years beyond what Wayne is able to communicate. Baba's videos are visible on the tube of you.
For a Tao/Dao de Ching translation I think you are far better served with Tao Te Ching: The New Translation from Tao Te Ching: The Definitive Edition (Tarcher Cornerstone Editions) That is if you are ready to take off the training wheels and ask yourself what does the Tao mean to you.
