Reviews

“In a style that is clear and informative, nondogmatic and inviting, Segall sails a balanced course between deep respect for both traditions of wisdom and critical reflection on their blind spots. … Segall’s clear and thoughtful book will be of great interest to a wide variety of readers from laypeople who yearn for more sustaining ideals to seasoned scholars and spiritual practitioners who are open to questioning and deepening their quest to live a better life.” (Jeffrey B. Rubin, The Humanistic Psychologist, Vol. 49 (1), 2021)
