Happiness Lessons of The Ancients: Confucius

The Covid pandemic has robbed us of many rituals and ceremonies
we took for granted - from simple handshakes to elaborate
graduation ceremonies. Their loss is important - rituals
contribute to our happiness in so many ways. Something the
ancient Chinese teacher Confucius contemplated deeply.


Harvard professor Peter Bol (who teaches ChinaX at edx.org)
explains why Confucius thought that ritual behaviours can bring
us and our communities peace and joy - but why we need to create
traditions and rules and customs that serve others, not just
ourselves.
