“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

new era deeply in need of enlightenment. Fresh insights, practical,
easy entry, and immense delight!”
