Riassunto

The Sunday Times Top 10 e bestseller internazionale: antica filosofia cinese per la vita moderna dal professore più popolare di Harvard Il primo libro del suo genere, The Path offre una guida approfondita per vivere bene apportando piccoli cambiamenti alle nostre routine quotidiane. Coprendo argomenti che vanno dal processo decisionale alle relazioni, mostra come azioni come salutare gli altri e giocare con i bambini fino a gestire riunioni possano essere opportunità per diventare più felici e produttivi. Gli autori dimostrano che viviamo bene non ''trovando'' noi stessi e seguendo servilmente un grande piano, come gran parte del pensiero occidentale vorrebbe farci credere, ma piuttosto attraverso un percorso di auto-coltivazione e impegno con il mondo. Credere in un ''vero sé'' limita solo ciò che possiamo diventare e piccoli cambiamenti, da come pensiamo alle carriere a come parliamo alla nostra famiglia, possono iniziare ad avere effetti potenti che apriranno costellazioni di nuove possibilità. Il corso di filosofia cinese del professor Michael Puett ha preso d'assalto Harvard. In The Path, lui e la giornalista Christine Gross-Loh rendono questa saggezza senza tempo accessibile a tutti per la prima volta.

Dalla quarta di copertina

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER In order to 'think big' we must first think small ...The first book of its kind, The Path offers a profound guide to living well. It reveals for the first time how the timeless wisdom of ancient Chinese philosophers can transform the way we think about ourselves. Covering subjects from decision-making to relationships, it shows how making small changes in our everyday routines - as simple as showing weakness in meetings or greeting people differently - can make us happier and more productive. The Path makes this largely unknown body of thought accessible to everyone for the very first time.

Dal risvolto di copertina interno

The first book of its kind, 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.

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 with 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 collaborates with journalist and author Christine Gross-Loh to make this timeless wisdom accessible to everyone for the very first time.
