Tao Te Ching

Attributed to the sage Lao Tzu and foundational to Taoism, the Tao Te Ching is a slim book of eighty-one short verses written more than two thousand years ago. It counsels humility, simplicity, and wu wei, the art of accomplishing much by forcing little, and returns again and again to the idea that yielding can be a form of strength. Jack Dorsey has called a gifted copy his most prized possession, and its minimalism echoes through his own approach to work and life.
