The book is divided into 81 chapters, each containing a series of aphorisms and insights into the nature of reality, human nature, and the art of living in harmony with the Tao. Walter Gorn Old's translation and commentary offer a unique perspective on the Tao Teh King, drawing on his extensive knowledge of Eastern philosophy and comparative religion.
