I particularly like his thoughts on life and career, which are very inspiring. However, I kind of hate some of the official figures of his time, I feel like they are hypocritical. But I admire Zeng Guofan for being able to maintain his principles in such an environment. Overall, this book is a book of wisdom worth reading again and again.
