Query: New age garbage

As Stephen Mitchell admits in the introduction, he cannot read Chinese. Instead, he uses translations by other people to construct his own interpretation of the text. When he comes across chapters he doesn't agree with, he simply removes them and writes something totally new. Apparently he thinks some Zen training qualifies him to translate an ancient text, while being completely ignorant of its language or the tradition of Daoism (which is far more than the philosophy of Laozi or Zhuangzi). This book is really just another useless commodity catering to the prejudices and fantasies of the New Age crowd.
