About the author

Chinese philosopher Confucius, originally Kong Fuzi and born circa 551 BC, promoted a system of social and political ethics, emphasizing order, moderation, and reciprocity between superiors and subordinates; after his death in 479 BC, disciples compiled the Analects , which contains a collection of his sayings and dialogues.

Teachings of this social thinker deeply influenced Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese life.

Reviews

[Scott · Rating 2 out of 5]

Poorly edited and put together. Visually very nice, and many good lessons to be learned here-but I was not a fan of the way it was organized.

[Aleisha Brumbley · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is one of the books that I use to refresh my resolve and character, a moral compass when I get turned around. With words well worth pondering and artwork beautiful and inspiring, this is a treasure house of virtuous wisdom.

This was a very annoying book to read, poorly written. The only up side was the art and it was less than 100 pages.
