The Tao of Power is an awesome book dealing with leadership. R. L. Wing’s translation of Tao Te Ching is truely amazing, he provides an excellent interpretation for present day visions. I would highly recommend this book to all wishing to be better leaders as well as understand the Tao Te Ching better.

I bought this book years ago. I was so impressed with it! It was like my bible. I read it to clear my mind of stress.
I’ve since purchased about a dozen more. Instead of flowers, which isn’t too appropriate for a guy, I give this as a host(ess) gift to various friends that my husband and I owe thank-you cards to from our travels.

Provides an excellent groundwork for anyone in business or technology. Very practical, with lots of historical information to keep it interesting. I just pick it up every once in awhile and flip to a new page. Great brain food!

Some of the profound meaning is lost in this new translation. the commentary provided is really surface in nature. I really don’t like the use of the term “evolved individual” in the place of “enlightened”. I am going to purchase a different translation.

the title attracts you, the rest will surprise you, and may lead to a very different understanding of power…
