In the first book of its kind, The Path draws 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 Path challenges some of our deepest held assumptions. It shows that the way to live well is not to slavishly follow a grand plan, as so much of western thought would have us believe, but rather to follow a path – one of self-cultivation and self-discovery.
