Slightly off topic, but I've followed this a little deeper and am wondering if anyone has any recommended Taoist reading? It appears this translation of Tao Te Ching is available in book form. Could anyone suggest a translation of Zhuangzi worth looking into?

I really like "Getting Right with Tao: A Contemporary Spin on the Tao Te Ching".

Here's the same verse, I think:

    The Masters do what needs doing
    and that's all they do.
    Do what you have to do
    without arrogance or pride.
    Get the job done
    and don't brag about it afterwards.
    Do what you have to do,
    not for your own benefit,
    but because it needs to be done.
    And don't do it the way
    you think it should be done,
    do it the way it needs to be done.

I recommend any Mantak Chia books. Take them with a grain of salt but there is a lot of good in there too.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. It's the best-selling philosophy book of all time, and you really can't go wrong with it. It's not about Taoism directly. But it is. You get that with Taoist sort of things.
