內容簡介 哈佛最受歡迎課程之一．以中國哲學思想反思人生哈佛大學最受歡迎的課程之一：古代中國道德與政治理論，教授Michael Puett探討中國哲學家的思想，汲取兩千多年前古人對於自身與社會的反思，帶領讀者重新思索人生。他挑戰現代對於成功的假定，認為人生並不是一條可供遵循的固定路途，而是我們在每分每秒持續創造無限可能的旅程。本書顛覆一切關於美好生活的想像，從過去的智慧裡，啟發未來的嶄新思考。The Sunday Times Top 10 and International Bestseller:Ancient Chinese philosophy for modern life from Harvard's most popular professorThe first book of its kind, The Path offers a profound guide to living well through making small changes to our everyday routines. Covering subjects from decision-making to relationships, it shows how actions from greeting others and playing with children to running meetings can be opportunities to become happier and more productive.The authors show that we live well not by "finding" ourselves and slavishly following a grand plan, as so much of Western thought would have us believe, but rather through a path of self-cultivation and engagement with the world. Believing in a "true self" only restricts what we can become - and tiny changes, from how we think about careers to how we talk to our family, can start to have powerful effects that will open up constellations of new possibilities.Professor Michael Puett's course in Chinese philosophy has taken Harvard by storm. In The Path, he and journalist Christine Gross-Loh make this timeless wisdom accessible to everyone for the first time.
