Description

 							
  For the first time an award-winning Harvard professor shares his wildly popular course on classical
Chinese philosophy, showing you how these ancient ideas can guide you on the path to a good life today.
  
 
Why is a course on ancient Chinese philosophers one of the most popular at Harvard?
  
  It’s because
the course challenges all our modern assumptions about what it takes to flourish. This is why Professor Michael Puett
says to his students, “The encounter with these ideas will change your life.” As one of them told his
collaborator, author Christine Gross-Loh, “You can open yourself up to possibilities you never imagined were even
possible.”
  
  These astonishing teachings emerged two thousand years ago through the work of a
succession of Chinese scholars exploring how humans can improve themselves and their society. And what are these
counterintuitive ideas? Good relationships come not from being sincere and authentic, but from the rituals we perform
within them. Influence comes not from wielding power but from holding back. Excellence comes from what we choose to do,
not our natural abilities. A good life emerges not from planning it out, but through training ourselves to respond well
to small moments. Transformation comes not from looking within for a true self, but from creating conditions that
produce new possibilities.
  
  In other words, The Path upends everything we are told about how to lead a
good life. Above all, unlike most books on the subject, its most radical idea is that there is no path to follow in the
first place—just a journey we create anew at every moment by seeing and doing things differently.
  
 
PRAISE
  
  	•	“I read The Path in one sitting and have been talking about it to everyone.
It’s brilliant, mesmerizing, profound—and deeply contrarian. It stands conventional wisdom on its head and
points the way to a life of genuine fulfillment and meaning.”
– Amy Chua, Yale Law professor and
author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother and The Triple Package
  	
  	•	“This is a book that
turns the notion of help—and the self, for that matter—on its head. Puett and Gross-Loh bring seemingly
esoteric concepts down to Earth, where we can see them more clearly. The result is a philosophy book grounded in the
here and now, and brimming with nuggets of insight. No fortune-cookie this, The Path serves up a buffet of meaty life
lessons. I found myself reading and re-reading sections, letting the wisdom steep like a good cup of
tea.”
– Eric Weiner, author of The Geography of Bliss and The Geography of Genius
  
 
	•	"The Path illuminates a little-known spiritual and intellectual landscape: the rich body of Chinese thought
that, starting more than two millennia ago, charted new approaches to living a meaningful life. But Puett goes a lot
further, creatively applying this ancient thought to the dilemmas of modern life. The result is a fresh recipe for
harnessing our natural energies and emotions to strengthen social connection and build islands of order amid the chaos
that sometimes surrounds us.”
– Robert Wright, author of The Language of God
  	
 
	•	“This book is a revelation, a practical way through a fractured, distracting world. I thought I knew
these philosophers—and I was wrong. Rigorous, concise, deeply informed, The Path retires our facile shorthand
about ideas ‘from the East’ and presents a powerful intellectual case to engage, to care, and to
remember.”
– Evan Osnos, National Book Award-winning author of Age of Ambition
  	
 
	•	"The Path will not only change your life--it will change the way you see history and the world. From its
wondrously fresh take on  Confucius to its quietly profound read of just what it is the great sages have to say to
us, this book exemplifies all that can come of the radical openness of Chinese philosophy. Read it and be
transformed."
– Gish Jen, author of Tiger Writing and The Love Wife
  	
  	•	"This book
opens the mind. . . . These thoughts echo in my life, even if the origins were unknown to me. . . . 
Puett and his
co-author have performed a service for all of us. They have succeeded in their project. Their accessible, conversational
style introduces anyone with interest to what Chinese sages suggested about giving meaning to our days. Even more
impressive, they inspire interest."
– Frank Wu, The Huffington Post
  		
  	•	"Puett's book
encourages us to chuck away our stiff, encrusted western notions, and to adopt a more fluid, less didactic approach to
life. The Path is not your classic self-help book, and not just because it dismantles the self. It doesn't serve up an
easy set of how-to activities. . . . You are also advised that any changes you make will be slow, incremental, the
result of constant daily work. . . . To talk to Puett is to view our western tradition through an entirely different
lens."
– The Sunday Times (UK)
  
  	•	"If you're looking to get out of a rut, or rise
above the doom and gloom of our present global situation, Puett's channeled knowledge from the Chinese masters will be a
wake-up call. We sometimes forget that our problems are as old as civilization, and maybe the answers have always been
hidden in plain sight."
– Publishers Weekly (Staff Pick)
  
  	•	"Puett’s dynamism
translates well from his classroom theater onto the page, and his provocative, radical re-envisioning of everyday living
through Chinese philosophy opens wide the 'possibilities for thinking afresh about ourselves and about our future.' His
text presents creative alternatives to the stale 'confines of our narrative.' With philosophical consideration, our
methods of interacting and coexisting may, as the author promises, have the power to better our lives and our
relationships. With its . . . spirited, convincing vision, revolutionary new insights can be gleaned from this book on
how to approach life’s multifarious situations with both heart and head."
– Kirkus Reviews
 

  
  	•	"The Path looks at the teachings of ancient Chinese philosophers and explains how we can apply
these largely forgotten teachings to our everyday lives. Granted, it sounds like a tough read. It sounds specialist and
niche and intimidating. It sounds all of those things. But it is none of those things. It's a big ask in under 200
pages. But there's something wonderfully simple and refreshing about the ideas. There is a simplicity to this book: all
we have is ourselves, let's try and make things better."
– Marisa Bate, The Pool (UK)
  
 
	•	"Puett's course has become the most popular on campus, even with those studying other subjects, and that's
because he talks about how to have a good life. Using ancient Chinese philosophy challenges all our modern assumptions
about what it takes to flourish in life."
– Sarah Montague, Today programme (UK)
  
 
	•	"Offers interesting alternatives to some of our modern ideas of self and society . . . worth the cover
price."
– Financial Times (UK)
  
  	
  	•	"A very accessible and inspiring piece of
work. . . . Anyone willing to put the work in might find that this book really can change your life."
– The
Sentinel (UK)
  	
  	•	“The Path is, in a word, brilliant! I would encourage everyone to get a
copy of this book! Great discussion will come from reading it, and you may find yourself looking to delve deeper into
some of the writings of these wise teachers from the past. The Path will be joining a select group of books on my shelf
which I reread every year.”
– Book Tardis (blog)
  	
  	•	"[The Path is] 1) a
disrupting challenge to almost any rigid worldview and 2) a brief overview of Chinese philosophy. . . . The authors
repeatedly point out that these philosophies are not just abstract 'big question' type approaches; they are intended for
use and exploration thru the daily nitty-gritty of real life. . . . Though in some cases, you’ll have to go
deeper into these 'paths' to figure out how, this book is a good place to start."
– Dwarf + Giant (blog)
