The Second Book of the Tao: Stephen Mitchell

Renowned scholar and translator Stephen Mitchell joins Steve to discuss his new book, "The Second Book of the Tao". Drawing from the work of Lao-tzu’s disciple Chuang-tzu and Confucius’s grandson Tzu-ssu, Mitchell has selected the freshest, clearest teachings from these two great students of the Tao and adapted them into versions that reveal the poetry, depth, and humor of the ancient texts with a thrilling new power, and makes them at once modern, relevant, and timeless. Alongside each adaptation, Mitchell includes his own brilliant commentary, at once illuminating and complementing the text.
