The Tao Te Ching, the esoteric but infinitely practical book written most probably in the sixth century B.C. by Lao Tsu, has been translated more frequently than any work except the Bible. This translation of the Chinese classic, which was first published twenty-five years ago, has sold more copies than any of the others.

If we watch carefully, we will see that work proceeds more quickly and easily if we stop "trying," if we stop putting in
