Reviews

""Seth Robert Segall offers the reader selections that challenge the mind and expand its horizons … [This] book is an excellent one for any therapist interested in understanding Buddhist psychology. While some of the chapters are challenging to read, they are worth the intellectual effort. Whether one finishes the book with a clearer understanding of Buddhism or just a clearer understanding, this book is a keeper."" — Massachusetts Psychologist ""This book is fascinating, intelligent, and creative. It addresses the strengths and weaknesses of both Western psychology and Buddhism in a balanced way. Not only is it very interesting to read, but it has also literally initiated a transformation in my own person.""— Etzel Cardeña, coeditor of Varieties of Anomalous Experience: Examining the Scientific Evidence
