One of the great ones.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This is one of the great books of wisdom I have come across. Other ones have been the Tao, I Ching. This one values great humanity, art, responsibility towards one's fellows, decency, leadership and high competence. It has some use for me today, even if I don't see the manifestations of its recommendations in the world very often. Benedict
My Grandmother would have loved this book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
She was never short on pride for her native Ireland and always emphasized the richer, positive aspects of Irish culture (not drunken leprechauns). This new translation would surely have made her proud as it shows the the depth of Irish history and the splendor of Irish wisdom. Very readable. I recommend it for anyone looking to expand their knowledge of leadership or Ireland. And I'd say it makes a perfect gift for anyone looking to nourish their Irish roots.
