Eastern philosophy has a rich history dating back to at least 3,000 BC, with its sources primarily in Asia, especially India and China. This book examines the five best-known Eastern worldviews: Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and Zen. It discusses their main characteristics and considers the purpose of each philosophy. Eastern philosophy differs greatly from Western philosophy. In a general sense, it can be said that Eastern philosophy focuses mainly on reality, while Western philosophy centers around truth.

Author Marc Jikan Brookhuis has written several books on Zen, mindfulness, and Eastern philosophy. Some of his works include "Mindfulness, back to the here and now" and "Zen, stories from the East."
