Summary: 5 Stars
My disappointment that this is not the Chuang-tzu quickly dissipated as this charming transladaption of Taoist wisdom grabbed and held me. Over forty percent of the readings are drawn from the seven "inner" chapters of the Chuang-tsu with the rest split unevenly between the remaining 26 chapters and the Chung yung. Its like reading the Tao Te Ching with fresh eyes. As usual, Mitchell draws on non-Taoist spiritual traditions to broaden the insights of his "chapters." More fun than i've gotten from a single book in a very long time.
