### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good English reader's introduction to the Way
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2014*

This is the only translation of the Dao I've read, so I don't have other references to compare this version to.  But, I think the author does a good job of conveying the dual nature of the text, each passage can be interpreted differently and this translation doesn't take that important feature away from English readers.  The Dao itself is a masterfully written, thought-provoking text that continues to be relevant in modern times.  I haven't read other translations of it, but I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed this one.  The Daodejing is short, but it is also profound.  It can give you insight into the human spirit, the way of nature, and the meaning of life all in one of the many short paragraphs.  Highly recommended to anyone interested in philosophy or knowledge in general.

    Absolute best translation.
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2013*

I rarely review amazon products, just have better ways to spend my time.  I got on here just to review this translation.  I own a few others, including stephen mitchell's (for some reason very famous) which is very derivative.I have no idea why Ivanhoe's work isn't more renowned.  But this is amazing.  May it change your life like it has mine.

    A Way that can be followed...
  

*by J***O on Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2015*

I have several translations of this ancient philosophical classic. While all of them have their merits, I feel that Ivanhoe's version is lucid enough to recommend to first time readers. He strikes a very nice balance between scholarly rigor and poetry- which is quite a rare feat in translating such an enigmatic work. Although it's always a good idea to refer to multiple versions of this text to get a good sense of the profound wisdom it contains, if you were trapped on an island with only Ivanhoe's translation you would likely have all you need for a lifetime of Tao cultivation. A real treasure!
