The Path

Penguin presents, the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of The Path by Professor Michael Puett and Christine Gross-Loh, read by Professor Michael Puett.

In the first book of its kind, The Path draws on the work of six of the great - but largely unknown - Chinese philosophers to offer a fresh and revolutionary guide to human flourishing.

By examining the teachings of Chinese thinkers, and explaining what they reveal about our daily lives - from greeting others to raising children - The Path challenges some of our deepest held assumptions. It shows that the way to live well is not to slavishly follow a grand plan, as so much of western thought would have us believe, but rather to follow a path - one of self-cultivation and self-discovery.
