Clear and simple interpretation of an Ancient Philosophy
Archie Bahm's interpretation is by far the easiest to take in. Clear, concise and straihtforward, without any attempt to mystify the meanings. The last chapters about Lao Tzu, Tao, Teh and Confucius is very informative.

A helpful translation for better understanding the Tao!
This translation of the Tao Teh Ching will not replace my favorite (more poetical) translation, but I found it very helpful in understanding those passages and ideas that are too often obscured by a too 'mystical' sounding translation. I want it alongside my other translations as I think I will refer to it frequently.

This review is from: Tao Teh King (Paperback)
A true, simple and deeply insightful translation of the Tao Teh Ching. No poetic wording or attempts to mystify the text. Presented in its true simplicity. This text will help you to understand the other translations you may have read.

best translation,

This review is from: Tao Teh King (Paperback)
Of the many translations i have read, this is by far the best. Instead of trying to translate word-for-word, and losing the important ideas in "mystical" or "poetic" sounding sentences, Archie Bahm has translated the concepts into comprehensible English. Read it!
