The Second Book of the Tao Audiobook

" Most of this book is meaningless aphorisms. It manages to really say nothing about anything. "

" Nothing can compare the Stephen Mitchell's translation of the "Tao te Ching", but this comes in at a close second. The verses in here are soul-stilling. "

" the writing is beautiful. Stephen Mitchell offered further great insight into the "Tao" "

" Stephen Mitchell does it again! "

" A very capable follow up to his interpretation of the Tao Te Ching. I love the layout and find his commentaries insightful. "

" The actual translated parts were great. Nuggets of truth throughout. His commentaries on the actual pieces got annoying after a while. "

" wow, is this audacious. not sure whether to love it or give mr. mitchell a hip check for trying to pull this off. "

" Ignore or embrace the commentary, the commented on is worth reading. "

" I'm a little bit disappointed with this book. I've read several of Mitchell's translations, and think he's brilliant, but nothing here really sang to me. I have the Chuang Tzu collection that Merton put together, and I guess I feel this work a little redundant. "

" This is fast becoming my favorite form of poetry. "

" Has authors comments along with the poetry and stories explaining them better. I really enjoyed the little stories and the poetry was easy to understand. "
