About the author

Nan Pei is an author about whom little has been made public. Four works are known to appear under this name, spanning Chinese philosophy, classic interpretation and personal growth. His writing is chiefly introductory and accessible rather than scholarly and argumentative, aiming to make traditional texts such as Chinese philosophy and the I Ching clear and readable; titles like An Introduction to Chinese Philosophy and An Introduction to the I Ching indicate that they are aimed at beginners, while Mastering Lu Jiuyuan's Thought in Half an Hour focuses on the School of Mind and sets out its core ideas in brief. He also addresses practical judgement and response, as in The Antifragile System: Benefiting from Uncertainty, a management title on staying resilient amid fluctuation. Nan Pei's work thus sits between cultural popularization and practical reflection, written for general readers who want a basic grasp in limited time. His nationality, dates and education are not clearly recorded.
