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

Ancient Chinese philosophy redefines modern good life.

If you've ever felt adrift in the modern world's sea of conflicting advice on living well, "The Path" might just be the vessel you didn't know you were looking for. Michael Puett translates ancient Chinese wisdom into a vibrant blueprint for the contemporary soul, challenging the Western obsession with self-discovery. It's an invigorating read that questions deep-seated beliefs and opens up new possibilities for how to lead a life that's both fulfilling and genuinely engaged with the world.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The Path draws on the work of the great but largely unknown Chinese philosophers to offer a profound guide to living well. By explaining what these teachings reveal about subjects from decision-making to relationships, it challenges some of our deepest held assumptions, forcing us to "unlearn" many ideas that inform modern society. The way we think we're living our lives isn't the way we live them.
