:rockon:
Yeah it's excellent- thoroughly enjoying it, and didn't realise that it was Alan Watts last book. I'd love to find out those last 2 chapters he had in mind full of "fun and surprises."

I'm reading it while referencing the Stanley Lombardo/ Stephen Addis Tao Te Ching (my main Tao reading over the last few years) and the Gia Fu Feng/ Jane English (which I just picked up with the watercourse way and am LOVING)

Do you have, or have read any of those translations @ DQ?
I spoilered my opinion incase you (or others) haven't.
I'm glad I started on the Addis/Lombardo because it retains a strong sense of poetry and a sort of Koan-esque friction or mystique to its offerings which has kept me curious, contemplating and digging in on that one a good while, but the English/ Fu Feng one has been really bringing a few of the purports to life for me. And it's not without beauty, it's just a little more streamlined without feeling overtranslated or strong handed - interpretation wise. The balance is appreciated, for sure, and I'm lucky to have never met a "bad" translation of the Tao Te Ching yet.

I do lovethe inclusion, in the Addis Lombardo, of the caligraphy, that's very nice and proves a good companion to the level of explaining pictograms etc Alan Watts gives in the Watercourse Way. There is something immediate and usable about Taoism that I love, its connection to nature and casual integration of the unseen. But it still has such a mysterious and :edit: forgot to finish this train of thought... probably was gonna refer to it being mysterious and Universal/ ubiquitous feeling

Happy reading!

I have not read those translations, but there are a million, so that's not surprising I guess. The best translation I have come across over the years is Aleister Crowley's.
