key words: Confucius from the heart, Yu Dan, recently, read on smartphone anywhere , changed my life in a positive way

Answer by Thay Anh

I have read many books of different kinds and I found many of them interesting. However, The book called “Confucius from the heart” I have recently read left a great impression on me. It was written by Yu Dan, a Chinese profound scholar. I knew the book for the first time which had mp3 format . After finishing listening to the book, I decided to buy it online , so I was able to understand the book more deeply. The book summarizes Confucius’s analects (or teaching) according the view of writer. It is convenient to read the book on my phone because I can read it anywhere if I have free time.

I have been passionate about Confucius and his analects which guide us to choose the right way to live. To make it clear, Firstly He explains why we exist in this life. Then, he set a standard who is a good person in society. Next, he helps us to create and maintain the relationship with other people. Finally, He shows us how to find true happiness in life. The main point I like the book is the Writer analyzes Confucius’s analects based on her experiences in contemporary society, so I can comprehend Confucius’s teachings effortlessly.

The book changed my life in a positive way. It helps me answer the questions that I encounter like Who I am and how I can live in a meaningful way. I Consider it as one of the most important book of my life.
