Summary: Waste of paper
Comment: You will find better wisdom in a fortune cookie. This book is a waste of paper. Most of the pages contain one little saying that is only about 20-40 words. I am not joking. On one page it just says "What is the Tao? The Tao is." So if you want to pretend to be all full of wisdom and never talk like a normal person get this book. If you want to learn some practical wisdom you should instead talk to a old person that has some real wisdom on life.

Summary: Simple introduction to meditation.
Comment: This is a very small and easy to read book. A good introducton to meditation. The book is mainly a small collection of chinese sayings and philosophy. You can read it cover to cover within an hour; but to study the words of wisdom will take a lifetime.

Summary: Makes a nice gift or leisure reading
Comment: Basic and brief contemplative thoughts with some nice ink drawings. A coffee-table-type book.

Summary: Don't let the title fool you...
Comment: A small, somewhat uninspired format that contains many meditations and a small section of Chinese proverbs. It isn't exactly an expansive review of any type of Chinese philosophy, nor will it cure any ills, but it does give a curt lesson in meditation and material to start on. And it travels well.
