I really recommend 'Change Your Thoughts Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao' by Wayne Dyer.

Dont be put off by the title, its not some kind of motivational book about achieving more and becoming a millionnaire in 6 seconds; instead, it's a beautiful and transformative exploration of the Tao Te Ching. Each of the 81 verses has been rendered in understandable terms with a short accompanying essay and tips on how to incorporate the timeless wisdom of Lao Tsu into your life. I love it, it's beautiful and I look forward to reading a chapter each day before meditation. The essence of the Tao is to stop striving and seeking and get back in tune with nature, with the eternal essence of the Tao. Our society really needs to rediscover this simple profound wisdom.
