The Tao Te Ching has influenced and resonates with me more than any other book. This translation is my favorite so far for its accessibility. The translator in this interview said a number of perspectives like I would: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4. Most other perspectives I have follow from those life-level perspectives. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4W8ufwzp50 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58eopl0tQao http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sETgCeOdof0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7lxiwJCj08
