Critic reviews
“There could be no better pairing of timeless truths and modern sage than that of Lao Tse and Alan Cohen. With the warmth and wisdom befitting these masters, Alan Cohen’s The Tao Made Easy liberates both the ancient teachings of Lao Tse and the mind and spirit of his readers.”
— Mike Dooley, New York Times best-selling author of Infinite Possibilities and Playing the Matrix
“In native cultures wisdom is transmitted through stories. The stories told around the evening fire can heal, inspire, and motivate. They are the power that holds a tribe together. Alan Cohen, in his splendid book The Tao Made Easy, allows us to access the wisdom of the Tao through his stories. Each story gleams like a jewel on the far horizon. Highly recommended!”
— Denise Linn, best-selling author of Energy Strands
“In Alan Cohen’s accessible new take on the ineffable Tao Te Ching, the ‘Tao that cannot be told’ is now told with fresh insights and practical ways of being, according to the universal principles shared by all. This ancient wisdom has been brought to life for a new era deeply in need of enlightenment. Fresh insights, practical, easy entry, and immense delight!”
— Chungliang Al Huang, president-director, Living Tao Foundation and International Lan Ting Institute, and co-author with Alan Watts of Tao: The Watercourse Way
“As a lifelong Taoist practitioner, I was thrilled to read Alan’s book The Tao Made Easy. It is filled with profound and perennial wisdom from Tao Te Ching, brought up to date for 21st-century spiritual seekers. Reading Alan Cohen’s warm, funny, accessible, and infinitely wise take on an ancient spiritual masterpiece made my heart sing and my soul rejoice!”
— Jason Chan, Taoist Master, lifelong A Course in Miracles teacher, creator of Infinite Arts, and award-winning author
“In a magnificent fusion of ancient wisdom and real-world practical application, Alan Cohen has masterfully rebirthed the essence of the Tao Te Ching . . . inviting the Chinese sage, Lao Tse, into the heart of the readers and—in the process—awakening timeless healing energy to help us solve life’s most pressing challenges. The Tao Made Easy truly touches the Soul!”

The book is superb, it makes you laugh and at times cry but only because the words are so powerful.
