Originally written by Lao Tzu (ca. 600 bce), it centers around the Tao (the way of the universe), its workings in human life, and how we can bring ourselves into harmony with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYears after Susan Montag lost her uncle to a sailing accident, she discovered two translations of the \u003ci\u003eTao Te Ching\u003c\/i\u003e among his books. Finding the translations supported her memory of her uncle as a gentle and caring person. As she learned more about Taoism, she wanted to share with her family the wisdom of the \u003ci\u003eTao Te Ching\u003c\/i\u003e and her excitement that her uncle had owned these books.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt first, she purchased copies of existing translations and gave them to people, but they didn' seem moved by the book. It occurred to her that as a writer with a down-to-earth, midwestern sensibility, she could create a new translation of the \u003ci\u003eTao Te Ching\u003c\/i\u003e, one that used her \"native tongue\" of plainspoken English.Because the Tao \"cannot be described,\" the language of the \u003ci\u003eTao Te Ching\u003c\/i\u003e is sometimes inscrutable to some readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFinding the Way\u003c\/i\u003e makes the essential wisdom of the text accessible to all readers. It includes advice for leaders, followers, lovers, parents--people from all walks of life searching for peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Montag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 089254113X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780892541133\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicolas-Hays\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 107\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.60w x 0.36d","brand":"Susan Montag","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926787752191,"sku":"9780892541133","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2f55a8ca-8cbf-45be-bae4-96e05d31b8bb.jpg?v=1681085009","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/finding-the-way-susan-montag-9780892541133","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
