The Path What the Great Chinese Philosophers Can Teach Us About the Good Life

In the first book of its kind, The Pathdraws on the work of six of the great - but largely unknown - Chinese philosophers to offer a fresh and revolutionary guide to human flourishing. By examining the teachings of Chinese thinkers, and explaining what they reveal about our daily lives - from greeting others to raising children - The Pathchallenges some of our deepest held assumptions. It shows that the way to live well is not to slavishly follow a grandplan, as so much of western thought would have us believe, but rather to follow a path -one of self-cultivation and self-discovery.
