About the author

Zhou Nan's publicly available information is limited, and no reliable record of his identity or life background is currently known. His six works in the library nonetheless show interests spanning two fields: management and traditional culture. On the one hand, he wrote E-commerce Copywriting and Visual Marketing Practice (2nd Edition, Micro-lecture Edition), a practical book on copywriting and visual marketing for e-commerce. On the other hand, he has produced several essay-style books inspired by the Dao De Jing, including The Starbucks of Fo Guang Shan: Inspirations from the Dao De Jing, Money or Life: Inspirations from the Dao De Jing, Scholarship and Life: Inspirations from the Dao De Jing, and A Thousand Mountains and Ten Thousand Rivers: Inspirations from the Dao De Jing, using ancient thought to address the trade-offs of modern life and business. Climbing Mountains and Watching the Sea: The Explorations of 146 Management Researchers also reflects his interest in the scholarly experience of management researchers. His writing tends toward essays and popular philosophy, plain in language and focused on readability and real-world relevance.
