Reviews for A Thousand Names for Joy

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a retranslation of the Tao Te Ching according to Katie's unique outlook on life, and her thought dovetails wonderfully with the ancient work. Her husband acts as translator (and more I suspect). Just pick it up, turn to any page, and let it hit you right between the eyes.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Having heard about Katie for years, it was good to finally read one of her books. She is almost too good to be true....but it seems it may be more than shtick for her. This book uses snippets from her husbands version of the Tao as the basis for each chapter. Mitchell, however, makes no claim to speak Chinese. He admits to reading many translations and appears to have done some free-based thinking in his version. Not sure many authors would have quite so much chutzpah to write a book based so loosely on a non-translation of a well-known classic.At the end of the book is a step-by-step how-to of "The Work," Katie's method of looking at difficult personal problems. That is also interesting, but I'm not certain it can really succeed as a self-help.
