Confucius from the Heart

Sean: So, this is the book that finally overtook the sales of Harry Potter where it too was the bestselling title in China. A modern reinterpretation of good old Confucius' teachings from more than 2500 years ago. As I have said before, most of what Confucius taught was nothing overly academic, but very approachable basic humanistic principles. But over the years, his teachings do fall out of fashion from time to time. What Yu Dan has done with this book is she has successfully refreshed Confucius' teachings and more importantly, make them relevant to today's people who feel they are lost in a crazy world that is changing too fast and overly materialistic. Surely the lessons apply to us Americans too. The gloomy economy is getting you down? It's time for a heart-to-heart with Confucius.
