{"product_id":"2940153669328","title":"Walking The Tao: A New Translation by William Martin","description":"\u003cp\u003eWilliam Martin is one of today's leading teachers of a modern and practical approach to living the principles of \"The Tao Te Ching.\" His best-selling books have ranged over such helpful topics as parenting, relationships, aging, care giving, forgiveness, and activism. Now he offers a new translation of \"The Tao Te Ching\" that has emerged from working with students around the world on a \"walk through the Tao.\" As Martin says, \"I have translated and interpreted the Tao Te Ching for thirty years and I never tire of exploring its fathomless depths. Recently I guided a group of students from several different countries through an intensive email exploration of this classic book. As part of that exploration titled Walking the Tao, I wrote a new translation especially for these fellow travelers. I wrote it from my current (2016) understanding and life situation and it emerged quickly and easily. I meant it simply as a touch point for this small group of students. However the feedback regarding this translation was so overwhelmingly positive that I have decided to incorporate it into a little e-book.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book contains his new translation along with a brief commentary and some suggestions for personal reflection after each verse. He offers a study of the Tao that is neither an intellectual philosophical practice nor an esoteric spiritual discipline, but simply a practical way of walking through life with awareness, simplicity, and contentment. A healing message for a chaotic, frenzied, frightened world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156992508144,"sku":"2940153669328","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940153669328_p0.jpg?v=1764054733","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940153669328","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
