Seth Zuihō Segall

This is a different type of Zen book. While the author opens with a brief explanation of Zen origins and practices, the bulk of the book describes how to apply Zen principles to specific life circumstances that may arise at home, work, or in everyday life. Segall is a Zen priest and retired clinical psychologist. He brings his two areas of expertise together to create a practical guide to applying Zen maxims to create a peaceful and balanced life. One way to use the book is to refer to specific situations for guidance on how to deal with those situations. Reading through the entire book, though, conveys the Zen attitude toward self, others, and life. Whichever way one chooses to approach the book, it will prove to be a practical guide for applying Zen principles.
