• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

For every would-be leader, this acclaimed Taoist classic offers timeless insights for building a better world The Taoist sages of ancient China have long been lauded for their transformative teachings on the art of harmonious living, community organization, and cultivating the common good. Along with Sun Tzu's Art of War, the Huainanzi, here brought to life in English by preeminent translator Thomas Cleary, represents an essential window into this long and cherished tradition. Yet, whereas the Art of War focuses on cunning strategy to quickly resolve conflict, the Huainanzi speaks to the organization of healthy societies, the management of complex group dynamics, and how to promote the highest ideals of harmony, freedom, adaptability, and sustainability in our world. With incisive teachings on the challenges and opportunities of leadership at all levels-from small-scale organizational management to political statecraft-its time-tested wisdom lights the way for any endeavor in business, management, politics, government, and everyday life.
