That should be helpful Thanks!Interesting question!
I am not a taoist but I recently read a book called "The Untethered Soul" which has a chapter on the Tao Te Ching.
So being curious, I plugged wisdom Tao Te Ching into Google - you might like 2 try it ...
Here's one site -

Alan Watts started as an Anglican priest and ended up creating his own religion. If you want to learn about any religion, stick to the views of its practitioners. Genuine Daoist writers are Eva Wong and Kristofer Schipper.
