"David Y. F. Ho is an accomplished social-clinical psychologist with lifelong experience working at the interface of Chinese and Western cultures. In this riveting book, he guides us into the very heart of the Chinese ideological traditions of Daoism and Confucianism with penetrating insight, applying his professional acumen and linguistic facility to unpackaging these difficult texts. Dr. Ho succeeds in his mission of making his translations and interpretations applicable to its audience and to 21st century life. It is a text that I wish I had available in my early encounters with Chinese culture and its members. All readers of Laozi’s Classic of Virtue and the Dao for the 21st Century: A Psychological Study will find their understanding opened and their hearts enlarged in sympathetic resonance. Such books are life changing!" —Michael H. Bond, Visiting Chair Professor of Psychology, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
