The Way

A Modern Tao Te Ching

By: Rick Julian, Lao Tzu

Narrated by: Rick Julian

I didn't set out to create a new translation of the Tao Te Ching when writing The Way. Since Lao Tzu wrote it in the fourth century BC, it has become one of the most widely translated works in the world and hardly needs a new scholarly treatment.

Instead, I sought to capture the way the verses have come alive in me with language and metaphors that are more easily understood by a modern Western listener.

Fully enjoy: Slow down the reading speed to the .75 rate

Slowing down the reading rate helped me linger on each statement and savour the authors wisdom. I also found the slower rate very soothing to listen to. Enjoy!

Amazingly powerful version

Might not be the most textually accurate but it is a spiritually powerful presentation with an fantastic narration. If you want a version to play during meditation this is a great version

Amazing!

The words are deep and require understanding, but liberating. I recommend for
anyone looking for eternal peace and life's meaning.

81 Verses of understanding differently

I love when the narrator of the book is either someone with a capturing voice that allows you to dive deep within the story or in this case it was the writer.
I had an opportunity to listen to these 81 verses and pick out a few that really resonated with me.
because this book is not very long I can always go back and listen to it whenever I feel I want to go into a meditative state.

I will say that this book is entertaining to those seeking this type of information otherwise the pace is a little fast and the information can appear to be cut and dry what I will say is most important is how you receive the message shared when it comes to this book.
