I've just recently bought a copy, only mine was part of an anthology with three other classic Chinese wisdom texts: https://www.amazon.com/Four-Chinese-Classics-Analects-Mencius/dp/1619028344
​
I figured it would be helpful to read all of those translated by the same translator (David Hinton) - he also has a translation of the I Ching, however it is stand-alone. I've thoroughly enjoyed his translation and can't recommend the book I linked enough.
​
To those asking, I think of the Tao Te Ching as the Art of War for everyday life (although the Art of War can also be applied in every day life). The nice feature of the anthology I linked is that he also comments on context and such, which is very helpful as someone who has no clue about Chinese wisdom texts or history and culture.
