RE: Western and Eastern Perceptions of Human Strengths

in #psychology6 years ago

Yes. I find that finding the similarities is more important than finding the differences, especially with such a sensitive subject. Some Eastern practices have huge benefits when taken, even in Western contexts, Mindfulness meditation is a good example of this. It's a powerful marker of what can happen when we bring ideologies together to discuss harmony instead of competition.

I totally agree! At the risk of getting too political, I fear that my country is becoming too isolationist. I don't see this as a sustainable practice. I hope there is more coming together in the future.
