Eastern Philosophy is a huge subject. You only mentioned Chinese philosophers. Are you interested in Indian, Tibetan, etc?
For a good intro to practical Indian Sanatana Dharma (Hindu) philosophy, try Vivekananda: The Yogas and Other Works. He (along with Paramahansa Yogananda) were instrumental in bringing Indian philosophy and culture to the West, and remains one of it's best representatives. The book doesn't focus on the Vedic or Puranic traditions as much as the Yogic, but it's the Yogic that speaks to the modern mind the best, and makes the older texts more digestible and relevant to it.
Also, the Bhagavad Gita is essential. My favorite translation is Sri Aurobindo's with Bhagavad Gita and it's Message.
For Tibetan Buddhism, read the works of its founder - Padmasambhava, aka Guru Rinpoche. The Lotus Born and Advice from the Lotus Born are two of my favorites.
And The Teachings of the Buddha by Jack Kornfield is a good well-rounded introduction to the teachings of the various schools of Buddhism.
And one of my absolute favorite Lao Tzu works is the Hua Hu Ching, particularly the Brian Walker translation. Beautiful and very profound. I actually prefer it over the Tao Te Ching.
Edit: added a book.
