In this podcast, we will explore why Easterners and Westerners think differently. There is an outdated assumption, based on Western biases, that there is one universal way of thinking. But modern research suggests nothing could be further from the truth. Actually, the differences in thinking are why Westerners tend to misinterpret Eastern spirituality, leading to new age oversensationalized interpretations of the philosophies of Taoism, Hinduism and Buddhism. We will uncover these differences and why different cognitive styles developed in the first place affecting our worldview.
