Tao Te Ching: The Ancient Classic

A TIMELESS PHILOSOPHY ON PERSONAL SUCCESS

One of the true classics of international literature, the Tao Te Ching is still a source of inspiration and guidance for millions. The oldest scripture of Taoism, its focus on attunement, rather than mindless striving, offers an alternative to command-and-control leadership and a different way of seeing and achieving personal success.

This keepsake edition includes an introduction by Tom Butler-Bowdon, drawing out lessons for the contemporary reader, showing how the Tao Te Ching remains vital reading for anyone seeking to win without conflict, and to achieve a balanced and productive life.

Lao Tzu lived in the 6th century BC according to Chinese tradition, and was his country’s greatest mystic philosopher. He is considered the founder of Taoism, and is revered as a deity in the Taoist religion.

Tom Butler-Bowdon is the author of five bestselling books on classic self-help and motivational writing. He has been described by USA Today as ‘a true scholar of this type of literature’. Tom has also written introductions to the other editions in the Capstone Classics series.
