But Segal and his wife, Maryann, a recognized yoga instructor and jewelry maker, have more esoteric interests these days: personal well-being and efforts to promote world peace. The couple spends four months a year pursuing those goals at Esperanza, which they consider the perfect setting for such ambitious avenues. “I’m an ocean person—that’s my way of life,” Segal says. “I love the peacefulness here—the nature, the art and, most of all, the Mexican people. They have a genuine kindness about them. This place is close to God, and it’s only two hours from L.A.”For Segal and his wife, Esperanza provides the peace of mind that allows them to practice what he calls “happy health.” Their routine: “We have veggie juice every morning, followed by an hour of yoga on the beach or our patio. That is followed by an ocean swim,” he says.
Later in the day, Segal works on his book-in-progress about “the path to global harmony,” called Love One Another—a collection of pieces written by respected figures such as the Dalai Lama on the theme of world peace achieved through greater love of other people. “It’s easy to say that love makes us feel good,” he says, “but when it really works is when you truly love yourself first; then it becomes natural to love everyone around you.” It is on a remote beach in Esperanza, the place he loves the most, where Segal feels closest to humanity.
