William Shakespeare is not only one the greatest dramatists of the Western world, he also is one of its best psychologists.
An astute observer of the human condition, Shakespeare was a prolific purveyor of timeless wisdom which he embedded in his plays. He was a master psychologist with insight so effective it ranks up there with Rilke, Jung and Rumi. Though written almost 400 years ago, his advice is modern and applicable today. In fact, we consume his words often emblazoned on coffee cups, via common quotes or delivered through daily inspirational apps and we don’t even know it’s him..
So join us as we examine and dole out Shakespeare’s life advice; you just may not need to go to therapy this week. (You’re welcome)
