The Way of Getting Along
Tags
Summary
This book shares more than principles for getting along with others. To live in harmony with others, you must first live in harmony with yourself—and go further, to live in harmony with all things.
Drawing on lived spiritual practice, this book carries forward the ancient wisdom of Chinese classics. Together, let us start from understanding principles and valuing practice, and set out on the right path of cultivation.
Being in harmony with yourself, with family, with your team, and with society—these dimensions of life are what the ancients called cultivating the self, regulating the family, governing the state, and bringing peace to the world.
Being in harmony with the past, the present, and the future is what the ancients called living a life of insight.
Only by learning to live in harmony can you reach across all times and spaces. This book begins with the simplest principle and unfolds the full range of dimensions for getting along.

Who it's for

Not a good fit for
