Five hundred years before the birth of Jesus, a God-realized being named Lao-tzu in ancient China dictated 81 verses, which are regarded by many as the ultimate commentary on the nature of our existence. The classic text of these 81 verses, called the Tao Te Ching or the Great Way, offers advice and guidance that is balanced, moral, spiritual, and always concerned with working for the good. 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.?
Excellent CD set November 25, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This 8 CD set is one of the best self help series I've heard. It really helps to put life in perspective and manage emotions in a positive way. I've listened to it at least 3 times through, while driving to and from work. I get something new out of it each time.

Right on time, Wayne! This is the book I read so slowly, without rush be- cause I regard its content as having lifetimes of value and use. I've bought three copies!
Stop the Chase and Become a Witness ... October 10, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Dr. Wayne Dyer reminds readers that they spend much of their lives chasing after things, people, places, and circumstances... because we feel that by finally acquring what we "desire", we will be happy... He shows us how the truth is that it never happens that way. Instead we get tired of all the chasing and get worn out :-) .. Dr. Wayne Dyer reminds us that our true nature is that of the "witness"... If only we can stop all the thinking momentarily and simply step out of our lives and watch our lives, our emotions, our thoughts, and feelings... just witness them without getting involved... then we can see how we are driven by them and how our lives are shaped by our own thoughts and people around us. We finally see how our own thoughts about a situation, a person, a thing, are responsible for our lack of inner Peace. He does not teach us to blame ourselves because blame is not conducive to helping oneself, to growing, and progressing.. rather Dr. Wayne Dyer lovingly brings to our attention how thoughts themselves and people around us have so much control and power over us... Is that the kind of life we want to live? How about if we take responsiblity for our own thoughts, and thereby our own lives, and take back the power from others who control our lives? Imagine the freedom, the peace, and well being in that living.. Live it and experience it.. this is what Dr. Wayne Dyer successfully shows.
We become a product of all of our thoughts and ambitions. Dr. Wayne Dyer teaches us to take control of our own lives by becoming a silent witness strong and rich with understanding within! He teaches readers how not to give the rein of our lives to circumstances, people, desires, problems, etc.. Let not things and thoughts have control over your inner peace and stability... Instead connect with the "Tao" (God resident in each our hearts) and depend on Him alone for guidance and strength to lead a life of self control and above all, inner PEACE...
