More about the book
To grow up is to grow old. With time, great love can turn into indifference. This title compares Western and Eastern - specifically Chinese - ways of thinking about time and processes of change. It argues that our failure to notice the effects of cumulative changes over time is due to Western thought's foundations in classical Greek philosophies.
