In The Tao Speaks  Tsai Chih Chung brilliantly retells  through his enchanting and irreverently humorous cartoon panels  the two thousand-year-old text of Tao Te Ching  the inspiring classic upon which Taoism is based.  Attributed to the great Chinese philosopher Lao-tzu  the Tao Te Ching has attracted generations of followers from across the world to its simple tenets of modesty  peace  and realism. According to Lao-tzu  \"If we are at peace with ourselves and the world around us  success will come unsought.\" Advocating poise  serenity  and complete assurance  Lao-tzu teaches men and women to work with nature rather than resist it.  The Tao Speaks offers the centuries-old wisdom of the Tao to modern readers searching for new ways to bring meaning to life. As with Tsai Chih Chungs previous books  the original Chinese notes are contained in the margins of each page as an aid to scholars and Chinese-speaking readers.  \"Tsai Chih Chungs books are awe-inspiring. his line is elegant; his characters are sharply drawn; his humor is sly and appropriate; and his subject is profound. This is cartooning of the highest order.\" -- Larry Gonick  author of The Cartoon History Of The Universe  Volumes I and II.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966180651061,"sku":"ByrdShop_0385472595","price":90.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780385472593.jpg?v=1770556504","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-tao-speaks-laotzus-whispers-of-wisdom","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
