Publisher's Summary

A master of psychoanalysis and social philosophy explores Zen Buddhism. In 1957, social philosopher and psychoanalyst Erich Fromm invited Daisetz T. Suzuki, the most famous Zen Buddhist master in the Western world, to a seminar at his new home in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Their discussion was one of the highlights of Fromm’s life, and the paper Fromm presented (and later expanded into a book) was a watershed work. Fromm demonstrates his mastery of the philosophy and practice of Zen, perfectly articulating how Zen tenets fit into the ideas of psychoanalysis. In this audiobook, he creates new perspectives on both systems of thought.

Insightful correlation of therapy & Zen

This audio gives excellent insight into how Zen Buddhism relates to therapeutic psychoanalysis and the Therapists role in helping a patient reach a state of Zen. It has alot of very advanced technical language and requires a concentrated listen. The narrator does an excellent job of creating flow for the listener. I recommend this book for those who are really committed to achieving a Zen state of mind. I had several "aha" moments.
