Michael Puett Livres

Comment mener une vie accomplie ? Comment trouver l'amour ? Et si, pour mieux envisager l'avenir, il nous fallait tout penser différemment ? Et si la solution c'était de revenir à la sagesse des anciens ? C'est ce que nous propose ici Michael Puett, professeur à Harvard et spécialiste de la philosophie chinoise. Puisant dans les enseignements de Confucius, Lao-tseu ou Tchouang-tseu, il nous invite à nous défaire de nos certitudes, à nous ouvrir à de nouveaux horizons, afin de comprendre que l'existence n'est pas à projeter comme un grand plan vertigineux mais à construire d'instant en instant pour trouver, enfin, sa propre voie. Une plongée salutaire dans une pensée millénaire qui va radicalement changer votre vie...

"In the first book of its kind,aThe Pathadraws on the work of six of the great - but largely unknown - Chinese philosophers to offer a fresh and revolutionary guide to human flourishing.a By examining the teachings of Chinese thinkers, and explaining what they reveal about our daily lives - from greeting others to raising children -aThe Pathachallenges some of our deepest held assumptions. It shows that the way to live well is not to slavishly follow a grandaplan, as so much of western thought would have us believe, but rather to follow aapath -aone of self-cultivation and self-discovery. "

Harvard's most popular professor explains how thinkers from Confucius to Zhuangzi can transform our lives 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.
