Benjamin Hoff delightfully explores Taoist principles with the help of Winnie the Pooh.
🔸Best Tao Te Ching - Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life: amzn.to/2BPDaWy

An accurate translation, getting you closer to Lao Tze's original meaning. Cross-reference with Wayne Dyer version.

The second most famous Taoist text after TTC. Profound philosophy told through humorous stories.
🔸Further exploration - “Tao: the Watercourse Way”
World-famous philosopher, Alan Watts, explores Taoist concepts in his signature witty style.
🔸For personal growth - The Tao of Success: amzn.to/2EVCzoP
Derek Lin shows that being a Taoist doesn't mean becoming lazy. This book explores how to grow in harmony with the Tao. Highly recommended.
