    The Tao Te Ching. Honestly I really adore The Tao of Pooh as well, and I habitually buy copies for people.

      +1 for Tao of Pooh and Te of Piglet. I’m reading it right now and already know I’ll be buying it for some friends.

      I came here to say Tao Te Ching as well. It’s an easy read, and short, but it showed me a very different outlook on life than what I’d encountered up to that point.

      I have the 1997 translation / version by Ursula Le Guin and it’s fantastic. It’s a more poetic translation and has some great commentary by Le Guin.
