"my first copy (and second copy). most of my taoist terminology comes from this copy, which i think has a particularly elitist stance, and it minorly aimed towards management. the best parts, i think, are the occasional characters of key terms which come with histories of the development of the pictogram and how the pieces come together. also interesting are the commentaries."
"This is a book that can be read continuously and offer insight, with each reading, into life and how to reach our true or full potential through means that appear natural like water flowing over rocks."
