註釋"Know Thyself."For thousands of years, spiritual and philosophical traditions have offered profound and practical insights into human nature. To better understand ourselves and others, we can learn from approaches that have survived the tests of time. Drawing from a variety of sources including Zen, Christianity, Taoism, Islam, Buddhism, and more, The Perennial Psychology examines key areas where these perspectives meet, overlap, and find common ground. "Know Thyself" was carved into temples centuries ago, yet that advice is often ignored. We're often encouraged to distract, amuse, and enjoy ourselves, but far less, to know ourselves.Without an accurate map of human nature, navigating the tests and trials of life can be especially difficult.Insights from Lao Tzu, Thomas Aquinas, the Dalai Lama, Augustine, Rumi, Kierkegaard and many others, collected here by Jonathan Cook, Editor-in-Chief of LiveReal.com, can serve as time-tested, practical, and reliable guides in these matters. They can help us understand who we are. But not only that: they can also help us understand what we can be.
