Seth Zuihō Segall masterfully bridges the insights of Western psychology with Buddhist philosophy, drawing from his extensive experience as a clinical psychologist and his ordination as a Zen priest. His writing delves into the intersections of these disciplines, exploring themes of mindfulness, ethics, and human flourishing. Segall's approach is both incisive and accessible, making complex ideas readily understandable to a broad audience. His work invites readers to contemplate existential questions and cultivate balance in contemporary life.
The House We Live In explores the commonalities underlying three classical approaches to virtue ethics-Aristotelean, Buddhist, and Confucian-to develop a flourishing-based ethics capable of addressing the problems of liberal democracies. This book will appeal to scholars and to general readers.
