Fascinating book that makes Confucian ideas accessible and relevant

I found "What would Confucius do?" to be an entertaining way to introduce myself to the timeless wisdom of the great teacher. I'm a scientist by training, so philosphy has frequently seemed unapproachable. This book, however, elegantly distills the heart of Confucius' teaching, and organizes the many sayings of Confucius into relevant catagories for people to use today. This book is truly a wonderful way to begin to understand Confucius, and how these simple guidelines for conducting you life can make you and possibly the world more civilized.
