review 1: It would be easy to be skeptical to think that anyone could follow up on Lao Tzu's masterpiece with a gem of their own but The Second Book of the Tao manages to do just that! Taking secondary passages by taoist masters in the era following the Tao Te Ching, we get a further glimpse into the "workings" of The Way and each passage is followed by the author's commentary. The passages are both fun and insightful and so many resonated with me. Oddly enough, the author's commentary may have been even better as he digs in and takes the ancient wisdom and paints in a language for the modern era. When all is said and done we will be walking along the path and no matter what we see, think or do there is only the way. So simple yet so profound! I highly recommend this for anyon... moree on a spiritual journey of their own!
review 2: I got this one as an Audio book and I really enjoyed listening to it. In fact I would recommend it as part of someone's daily meditations. It is relaxing to listen to and even helps you to let go of a lot of unnecessary tension.Life is paradox and contradiction. That is the sum of this book and learning to embrace that will free ones mind from the narrow limits of a 2 dimensional world where truth and reality has to be forced into "either, or". less
