Bob Jankel’s Blog on Tao and Other Things 
Welcome to my new blog. My name is Robert M. Jankel and I have a new book coming out over the next 4-9 months. It’s called “Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching, An Intuitive Interpretation.” It’s being published through DonnaInk Publications.
There are so many translations and interpolations of this book on the market today. What makes mine different from the others? First, there’s not just one interpretation. There are actually 3 separate versions in one book. There is a more literal interpretation and then there is a liberal version and finally there are 162 illustrations that comprise a visual interpretation.
Why the Tao Te Ching? About 50 years ago at the age of 17, I had an experience that changed the direction of my life. When I came across some translations of this book, I found that it contained a number of things that I’d been thinking about. I was also struck by (what seemed to me) Lao Tzu’s unique reasoning. It is so different that to this very day, I’m still trying to dig deeper, asking myself what it is that he and his movement were really trying to convey.
