Reviews for The Sense of Self: Perspectives from Science and Zen Buddhism
Sears highlights the phenomenon of felt separation and offers a smorgasbord of intellectual insight into how it got there. This book will find a home on the shelf of those interested in how Buddhism intersects with science and in undergraduate classes addressing the intersection of psychology and religion. (Frederick J. Heide, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 62 (19), May, 2017)
