Mitchell's flights, his paradoxes, his wonderful riffs are brilliant and liberating. -Pico Iyer </b> <p/> The most widely translated book in world literature after the Bible, Lao-tzu's <i>Tao Te Ching</i>, or <i>Book of the Way</i>, is the classic manual on the art of living. Following the phenomenal success of his own version of the <i>Tao Te Ching</i>, renowned scholar and translator Stephen Mitchell has composed the innovative <i>The Second Book of the Tao</i>. Drawn from the work of Lao-tzu's disciple Chuang- tzu and Confucius's grandson Tzu-ssu, <i>The Second Book of the Tao</i> collects the freshest, most profound teachings from these two great students of the Tao to offer Western readers a path into reality that has nothing to do with east or west, but everything to do with truth. With his own illuminating commentary alongside each adapta­tion, at once explicating and complementing the text, Mitchell makes the ancient teachings at once modern, relevant, and timeless. <p/><p><b>Listen to a special podcast with Stephen Mitchell: </b></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><BR><BR><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Stephen Mitchell was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1943, educated at Amherst, the Sorbonne, and Yale, and de-educated through intensive Zen practice.
