Christine Gross- Loh, Michael Puett - Az road - Mit tanulhatunk a Chinese filozófusoktól a good életről?

Harvard University professor Michael Puett's course on Chinese philosophy is extremely popular - but what is the secret?
Puett shows how reading ancient Chinese philosophers can help us live a good life, challenging modern Western thinking by claiming nothing less than that these ideas will change our lives.
Two thousand years ago, Confucius, Mencius, Lao-tzu and other Chinese thinkers pondered the question of how people can improve their lives and society. The key to good relationships is not honesty, but rituals. Influence does not come from the exercise of power, but from the withholding of it. Perfection is not brought about by our natural abilities, but by our chosen actions. A good life is not achieved by planning, but by learning to react correctly to small moments. Michael Puett and Christine Gross-Loh's book asserts that there is no path to follow - only the journey we recreate each moment.
