Psychology of Being Human Book

I left the book with an understanding of Yi and Li. The historic roles of individuals in a Confucius system and why Confucianism was so relevant when it was at its height.

A former philosophy professor told me that it has some of the most accurate translations from the Analects. Furthermore, the text doe a nice job at showing how certain movements and schools of thought were highly reactive, like Taoism.

This is a highly academic text. I found myself struggle at times to push through. In part, because this book pushes primary sources and works to give exposure to classical thinking.

There were moments when I found the text a bit too dry and academic.
