The Art of Management. Works of Chinese Thinkers

The art of management, or the art of the heart, has always interested Chinese thinkers of various philosophical schools.
They compared self-management, as well as the management of emotions and feelings, with the complex governance of the state. For the "heart in a person resembles a ruler on a throne, and the functions of his external organs are the duties of officials". "Calmness in the heart brings calmness to the state".
The collection contains works of philosophers from different schools, broadly covering questions of the universe and morality, as well as the foundations of political power and economic practice, with instructive examples from the "golden" age of wise rulers of China.
