Though Kongzi lived more than two millennia ago and on the other side of the earth from many picking up this book, his teachings about how to live reverberate everywhere there are parents, children, and families everywhere people feel stirrings of compassion for others, but sometimes selfishly ignore them everywhere people wonder how they should interact with their environment. Kongzi, also known as Confucius (551-479 BCE), is the most famous of the 2500-year-long tradition's philosophers. For thousands of years, Confucian thinkers have carefully honed a philosophy for living fully, passing that knowledge along to their students over generations. Ancient and enduring, rich and wide-ranging, the tradition of Confucianism offers profound insights into how we can lead good lives-lives built on understanding that we are deeply connected to one another. ![]()

Date of Release for Doors of Stoneīecause the author disagrees with the book, he is making changes to the narrative, which is causing him to take significantly more time than is typical.Īs a result, the publication of Doors of Stone will be delayed as a result.

But that’s not how depression works. Was this me, all the time, or could this be fixed? What was it, anyhow, that needed fixing? I had read William Styron’s memoir of his depression, Darkness Visible, when it came out in 1989, my final year in college it’s a book I still admire, yet Styron’s life was so far removed from mine that it was hard to find a real echo of my suffering in its pages. I, too, had lived with depression, with the mysterious shadow that was either a part of myself or beyond myself, I could never quite tell. Michiko Kakutani, writing in the New York Times, admitted to wanting to shake the author: “There are far worse fates than growing up during the 70s in New York and going to Harvard.” Yet Kakutani also praised “her forthrightness, her humour and her ability to write sparkling, luminescent prose”.Īnd it was those qualities that struck me when I read the book – at 27, as it happens, for Wurtzel was just a few months older than I am. “Prozac Nation is being hyped as a tract on youthful angst in the 90s, but it reads more like the self-absorbed rantings of an adolescent,” ran a review in Newsweek.
