This review is from: China and the Search for Happiness: Recurring Themes in Four Thousand Years of Chinese Cultural History (Hardcover)
Bauer explores mountains and caves traversed by China's real seekers -- who wanted not power, knowledge, or sanctity, but the real goal of life, namely happiness. The survey covers a vast range of strategies -- from love to wine, naturalism, communal living, to sheer escapism. The variety of ways to happiness probably eclipses the creativity of the West's 1960s counterculture. It's a refreshing and challenging meditation on what makes us happy. I enjoyed it as much as Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.--author of A Galaxy of Immortal Women: The Yin Side of Chinese Civilization
