In Harmony with the Tao

Join us for an evening with author Francis Pring-Mill as he presents his book In Harmony with the Tao.

Today’s fast-paced world leaves us little time to spend with the timeless questions, such as how to live a meaningful life in harmony with the world around us. Nonetheless we yearn for answers — and answers are to be found in the Tao Te Ching, a book written twenty-five hundred years ago that resonates with people everywhere as though it had been written yesterday. In Harmony with the Tao includes the complete text of Stephen Mitchell’s work Tao Te Ching: A New English Version accompanied by Francis Pring-Mill’s illuminating commentaries. In a skillful rendition of ancient wisdom reimagined for modern times, In Harmony with the Tao reveals the common threads weaving through the eighty-one brief chapters,  and will appeal to anyone keen to understand the ideas contained in, and especially between, the lines of the Tao Te Ching.
