Tao Te Ching 29-47:

I am currently reading this book called A Million Little Pieces by James Frey, a memoir on his drug addiction and his lengthy stay in a rehab center eventually leading to his recovery. To give some background info on the book, once it was released it was critically acclaimed and even Oprah sponsored it on her show, making it an immediate bestseller. Then it was discovered that some of the events Frey talked about in his book didn’t actually happen, making his book part fiction and making him a fraud, a liar and kind of the culprit of Oprah’s reputation after the news came around. This is why I decided to read it, because of all the so-called “controversy” behind it. Also, the different format in which it was written: the dialogue has no quotations.



What surprised me while I was reading was that Frey mentioned the Tao Te Ching.
