In this fascinating and rare conversation, Polly and Mike speak with psychologist and Zen teacher Seth Segall PhD whose recent book The House We Live In: Virtue, Wisdom and Pluralism looks at three great philosophers – Aristotle, Buddha, and Confucius – in terms of how they teach virtues and wisdom. In a conversation about what is universal and timeless and what is specific and timely, Seth and Mike and Polly express divergent and overlapping opinions and views, while remaining curious about each other’s stances. If you have ever wondered about whether the meaning of “enlightenment” transcends geography and cultures, this is a great episode to listen to.
