I didn't set out to create a new translation of the Tao Te Ching when writing The Way. Since Lao Tzu wrote it in the fourth century BC, it has become one of the most widely translated works in the world and hardly needs a new scholarly treatment.
Instead, I sought to capture the way the verses have come alive in me with language and metaphors that are more easily understood by a modern Western listener.
