About this listen
Introducing a new translation of Laozi’s classic work that makes the intimidating approachable and the complex comprehensible.
Translated by best-selling author Ken Liu and read by acclaimed actor B.D. Wong, this new take on the Dao De Jing speaks directly to the sensibilities of a modern audience. Liu dispenses with footnotes and the granular details of academic debate in favor of presenting Laozi’s invaluable writing as clearly and colorfully as possible.
For those familiar with Daoist philosophy, Liu’s Dao De Jing provides a streamlined text and fresh interpretation from a veteran translator. For newcomers, Liu unpacks Laozi’s parables and meaning-rich language with an eye toward the work’s illuminating power.
The Dao De Jing has captivated thinkers for thousands of years. Now, Ken Liu’s accessible prose makes it accessible to scholars and neophytes alike.

Awful
I could not listen as the man narrating kept saying the title of the book in a very stupid accent. Yes, I know he was pronouncing it correctly, but he was speaking the rest of the book with an English accent (perfectly on my head), and every time he mentioned the title of the book, he jerked in a very authentic Chinese accent that was really offputting. Also the title of the book came up very frequently in this book.
