Simply written, and with a view to taking the wisdom of Confucius out of
the hands of the academics and the philosophers and making it accessible
to the general reader, Confucius From the Heart gives us a
contemporary Confucius, one who can teach us how to attain spiritual
happiness, adjust our daily routines and find our place in modern life.
Yu Dan argues that his sayings, or Analects - far from being merely
interesting quotes from ancient lore, of little use in our hectic,
stress-filled world. Instead, they are simple truths that can speak to
each and every one of us and help us lead better, happier, calmer lives.
