Description
The key to understanding ourselves and our lives lies in exploring the differences between Eastern and Western thought on the nature of the human mind and our place in the world. This book brings together the insights of Zen Buddhism and psychoanalysis to help us realise our full potential as human beings and members of society. Erich Fromm's work provides a seminal exploration of how both Eastern acceptance and Western psychoanalysis can teach us to live our lives rather than be controlled by them. D.T. Suzuki's writings offer a profound and gentle wisdom on the contrast between Western materialism and the Eastern concept of acceptance as the basis of well-being for the whole man. Richard De Martino's clear account of the psychology of Zen adds further depth to this exploration. By combining these perspectives, this book offers a brilliant and valuable work that can help us in our quest for understanding.
