It is a transliteration, but being a Tai Chi teacher it best personifies the meaning of the words. Try it you'll like it a lot.

Great Book on Living Life
This is one of the great classics in philosophy and life. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in living life in a better way. I have read many of the chapters in my yoga and tai ji classes and everyone wants to discuss the readings at length. The end of the book has added details from the authors point of view into some of the meetings of the chapters in the book. This is extreemly helpful! This is one of the best transalations of the Tao I have read. I was also very happy the the book was in the condition stated, used but in very good condition.
