About this listen

Wise yet worldly, spiritual yet practical, the Tao Te Ching is beloved by seekers all the world over. This new edition features a lucid, poetic translation that makes the Tao Te Ching accessible to contemporary listeners.

The Tao Te Ching is a series of meditations on the mysterious nature of the Tao - the way, the guiding light, the very source of all existence. According to Lao Tzu (a name meaning "the old master"), the Tao is found where we would least expect it - not in the strong but in the weak; not in speech but in silence; not in doing but in "not-doing".

Soothing

I don’t have many translations to compare this to, so I can’t say much on that front. However, I’ve found this reading a soothing way to float off to sleep. A gentle meditation, gently spoken.

short enough bite sized meditations to pause

about 70 or so bits sized speeches consisting of a minute each, good to be able to pause and come back to later
will have to relisten to it maybe 1-2 more times in full to grasp the meanings and understand deeper what is spoken. Some sections are easily understandable whereas others appear to have a hidden message
