Author Description

Originally written some 2,500 years ago Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching endures as a powerful and relevant guide—for kings, princes, and captains—yet modern translations remain difficult to read. In Everyday Tao Te Ching, Texas artist and musician Pat O'Bryan updates the Tao for the twenty-first century. Shedding high-brow language and archaic cautions, Pat offers a Tao Te Ching that would be comfortable in blue jeans and a t-shirt. Simple, yet thought-provoking, chapters paired with powerful photographs create an imminently accessible Everyday Tao Te Ching—the Tao for the rest of us.
