Today, our global village is filled with strife, caused primarily by extremists of every kind, all unwilling to compromise. But there is a better way a middle way where we might discover common ground for peace, both personally and universally. Lou Marinoff, professor of philosophy and author of "Plato, not Prozac," reveals the ABCs of finding that spiritually rich path: Aristotle, Buddha, and Confucius. Each of these wise men knew that extremism destroys happiness, health and harmony, and shared the supremely important notion that the main purpose of our existence is to lead a good life, here and now. In three sections, Marinoff examines the contemporary world and shows how the Middle Way provides solutions to our most pressing problems. Part One looks at civilizational dynamics that drive both cooperation and conflict across borders, and introduces each of the ABCs. The second segment focuses on some notorious extremes including political polarization, and simmering religious, tribal, gender, cultural, and economic divides and how the ABCs can reconcile them. And the third, final section enlightens us on how we all can apply the ABCs to the betterment of our own lives and humanity as a whole. A short list of recommended readings accompanies each chapter, along with illustrations, maps, and eye-opening charts."
