Got missed when I was compiling the article. Ran into it when I picked the book up again last night. Curious how these evolve sometimes. The intention was to focus on the verse and and quote but it became more about comparing 2 versions. When I first read the commentary, I intended to include it in the post.

Yes, his other book was beyond the scope of the article and I haven't seen it. His translation is certainly more accessible than some. And it makes a nice pre-meditation reading for the group I'm in. Katie's work is used to illustrate practical application. She's very grounded. She's also awake, which makes a big difference in understanding. The only way someone can really capture the essence of Lao Tzu is if they share his experience of the world. Well - at least range. The historical and cultural differences are rather large. Hi Jim

Wayne Dyer also has a book that he expounds a lot more on each verse…
in the more ‘detailed book’ Wayne Dyer.. makes a point that he feels one of his life missions is to bring the Tao to our generation.. that he is adding some modern color (or Dye) to the tao. that he is a WAY DYER..
i read it as a daily morning reading and thought it was a great work and introduction to the TAO with practical application excercises… the version with the affirmations is good for the TAO.. but the affirmations are superflous…
i just started on Katie’s book.. reading it daily also.. sometimes..her chapters are sooo short..
i may just go ahead and read her book “through” .. it is not making as good of a “morning reading” book as Mr. Dyers.. however.. i think she does get “out of the box” more completely and consistently… they are both good pointers!
