Consider Change Your Thoughts Change Your Life by Wayne W. Dyer. Recommended by 2 sources.
“Wayne W. Dyer pairs each of the Tao Te Ching's 81 short verses with a brief, plain-language reflection intended to turn a paradox into practical advice. Entries are short and often read like prompts or one-paragraph meditations, which makes the book easy to dip into for a commute or a daily pause. Useful when you want quick reframes or calming reminders; limiting when you expect close translation, historical notes, or sustained philosophical argument — repetition and a reassuring moral voice flatten some of the original ambiguity.”
