Publisher's Summary
Introducing a new translation of Laozi’s classic work that makes the intimidating approachable and the complex comprehensible.
Translated by best-selling author Ken Liu and read by acclaimed actor B.D. Wong, this new take on the Dao De Jing speaks directly to the sensibilities of a modern audience. Liu dispenses with footnotes and the granular details of academic debate in favor of presenting Laozi’s invaluable writing as clearly and colorfully as possible.
For those familiar with Daoist philosophy, Liu’s Dao De Jing provides a streamlined text and fresh interpretation from a veteran translator. For newcomers, Liu unpacks Laozi’s parables and meaning-rich language with an eye toward the work’s illuminating power.
The Dao De Jing has captivated thinkers for thousands of years. Now, Ken Liu’s accessible prose makes it accessible to scholars and neophytes alike.

Excellent
One of the best books on the dao de ching Ive ever read/heard. Not just a translation, it includes personal essays and excerpts from other texts. I hope it becomes available as a printed edition—I would definitely read that, and I’ll listen to this again. BD Wong is a great narrator.

Much better readings
Unneccessary and annoying narration and lots of unrelated content making a good short read longer than necessary.
