Rén: The Ancient Chinese Art of Finding Peace and Fulfilment

by Yen Ooi Narrated by Eunice Wong

Overview

The Chinese character for Rén ? combines the word for 'person' ?and the number 'two' ?, representing human connection. And in the teachings of ancient philosopher Confucius, Rén is the study of our relationship with those around us. In this accessible and beautiful book, Yen Ooi explains the various facets of Rén and explores how this philosophy applies to everything from our relationship with ourselves and the people in our lives, to how we relate to society and the wider world. She shows us how, using the basic principles of Rén and through simple changes to our lives, we can connect better with friends, family, and colleagues, become helpful members of society, and find fulfillment in ideas of community, justice, morality, and compassion.
