Continuing this special limited series, here is the second video based on How to Live a Good Life: A Guide to Choosing Your Personal Philosophy, co-edited by Skye Clearly, Dan Kaufman, and yours truly.

Praise for the book included the following: “How to Live a Good Life is a fantastic book. I dare anyone not to do something differently in their daily life at least once after reading it. . . . It’s a wonderful summary of the collected wisdom of humanity in a highly readable book of less than 300 pages. You can dip in and out of it when the mood takes you. Also, it’s written by scholars, so while these are obviously summaries, none offer glib advice on how [insert philosophy] can change your life, though I expect some of them maybe can.” —Sophie Roelle, “Best Nonfiction Books of 2020,” Five Books.com

This episode focuses on Buddhism and Hinduism, featuring contributors Owen Flanagan (Duke University) and Deepak Sarma (Case Western Reserve University). Enjoy!
