How to find your place in the world? How to be a good person? How can we create a more just human society?
All these questions are difficult for modern man to answer. What if, to look to the future, it is best to reconnect with the wisdom of the elders? This is what Michael Puett proposes to us with The Way. This Harvard University professor, a specialist in Chinese philosophy, draws on the teachings of Confucius, Mencius, Tchouang-Tseu or Lao-Tseu and offers us a new way of thinking differently: no big vertigineu plan, no short-medium-long-term vision, but a daily fulfilment, a succession of happiness or intimate satisfactions to gradually build our own path.
As he teaches his students: "If you take the ideas you find in these texts seriously, they will change your life. "
