Impulse buy over the weekend. Chinese Philosophy was my favorite course in undergrad; it‘s the only class that I saved every book. I continued to read multiple translations of Chinese texts over the years. This book was an interesting refresher/introduction aimed toward a popular audience. It asks readers to consider how they can improve themselves through enlightened behaviors and thinking. Not groundbreaking but a refreshing perspective. ☯️
